About This Item
Voyager Books, 1996. Soft cover. Good/No Jacket. McDermott, Gerald. Book sports a fair amount of light "finger-bends" from page turning, and a small tear on edge of back cover, also creasing to spine. Otherwise a very good readable copy.
Zomo the rabbit, an African trickster, sets out to gain wisdom.

Synopsis
Zomo the rabbit, a trickster from West Africa, wants wisdom. But he must accomplish three apparently impossible tasks before Sky God will give him what he wants. Is he clever enough to do as Sky God asks? The tale moves along with the swift concision of a good joke, right down to its satisfying punch line.”-- Publishers Weekly Wildly exuberant, full of slapstick and mischief, this version of an enduring Nigerian trickster tale, featuring a clever rabbit, is a storyteller’s delight.”-- Booklist

I specialize in hand-picked, children's used books. Children's books have always been my passion. Stories about Family Values; Inner Strength & Peace; our Earth Mother & her Creatures; Legends & Folklore of all kinds are a sample of the types of books I want to share. Many adults (including me), need these stories as much as our children do. Touched by the illustrators' beautiful work, the author's heartfelt words- I gather the books that move me and offer them to you.
