| Description: |
In this East African folktale, the friendship between a mango-eating monkey and a crocodile is tested when the leader of all crocodiles falls ill and needs to eat a monkey's heart to be cured. |
| Synopsis: |
How important is loyalty in a friendship? Baku the crocodile finds out in this charming fable set in Kenya. Baku makes friends with Taki, a monkey who lives in a tree above the river. Together they share the delicious juicy mangoes from Taki's tree. They talk and eat, eat and talk. Everything is fine until Baku betrays Taki's trust and puts his life in jeopardy. It's a good thing that Taki is such a smart monkey! But is he smart enough to keep from being fed to the Mighty One, leader of the crocodiles? Children will learn the need for trust between friends as they enjoy this delightful tale with its brilliantly coloured illustrations. Can be used to teach children problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. |
