The Cow-Tail Switch: Stories for African Readers (Newbery Honor)
This unique collection of folktales, brought to life by illustrations throughout the text, comprises 17 stories. The stories of West Africa are about men and animals, kings, warriors, and hunters. They tell of clever and stupid people, good and bad ones, and how things and animals came to be as they are. Sometimes, they are just tall tales. There are stories about Frog, Rabbit, Turtle, Guinea Fowl, and all the other animals that West Africans know. Some of the stories make you think, while others make you laugh. These are the stories of the people of the forests, the seacoast, the hills, and the plains, which the people of West Africa share with you.
This collection has been recognized as a NEWBERY HONOR BOOK (1948).
