About This Item
From the d.j.: In the spirit of Mother Goose, this book is a colorful collection of original, African-inspired nursery rhymes. As in classic nursery rhymes, the verses are inhabited by charming characters, including Ola Pangolin, a giraffe named Wobbly Obi, the Queen of the Fish, Pineapple Girl and Coconut Boy--who impart simple wisdom or evoke a spirit of pure silliness, making this collection not only distinctively African, but wonderfully universal. Exquisitely detailed illustrations by Julia Cairns.

About Stillman Books
After closing my most recent bookstore in White Rock, B.C., I have decided to sell strictly online for the foreseeable future. My inventory is heavy on
children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
