Abiyoyo Returns Hardcover - 2001

by Pete Seeger; Paul DuBois Jacobs; Michael Hays (Illustrator)

The hungry giant from Pete Seeger's classic is back in a new, original story. The town that Abiyoyo once terrorized now has a new problem: a boulder is blocking progress on the dam the town needs to plant trees. A little girl suggests bringing back Abiyoyo to move the boulder, and she has a plan that includes her grandfather and his magic wand. Full-color illustrations.


From the publisher

Thirty years later...
The little town that was once threatened by the giant Abiyoyo has grown by leaps and bounds. But now that the townspeople have chopped down all their trees, every year they have floods and droughts. Worse yet, there's a giant boulder blocking up the site of their new dam! Something has to be done.
Well, the young boy who helped make Abiyoyo disappear way back when now has a little girl of his own. And she knows the only way to save the town: Bring back Abiyoyo to help move the boulder. "Bring back Abiyoyo?" the townspeople cry. "The giant that eats people up?" But the little girl has a plan for that, too....
Fifteen years after Pete Seeger's storysong "Abiyoyo" came to life as a picture book, his beloved giant is back in a wonderful new story. With Michael Hays's brilliant illustrations and a sing-along score included, Abiyoyo Returns is destined to become a family favorite.
