Koi and the Kola Nuts - Gleeson, Brian

Clean, tight, unmarked; single light crease close to spine; very light wear to inner corners; otherwise very minimal wear; In this humorous African folktale, young Koi leaves home when the people of his village refuse to pay him the homage befitting a chief's son. But upon his arrival at the next village, the great Chief Fulikolli informs Koi that unless he fulfills three difficult tasks, he will end up in their cooking pot. With the help of some kola nuts and unlikely new friends - a snake, a colony of ants, and an alligator - Koi preserves his life and finds his rightful place in the world.
