It's been a while since I've shared a book by Ashley Bryan, so I wanted to make sure to include one of his books during this week of anthologies, and I chose this one: The Ox of the Wonderful Horns and Other African Folktales... a lovely book that is just a click away at the Internet Archive.
Here are the stories you will find here: Ananse the Spider in Search of a Fool (an Ashanti story from western Africa); Frog and His Two Wives; Elephant and Frog Go Courting (these two are from Angola); Tortoise, Hare, and the Sweet Potatoes, and The Ox of the Wonderful Horns (these two are from South Africa). Don't those all sound great? And of course I am happy because they are all stories with animal characters.
Ashley Bryan wrote the text and he did the marvelous illustrations. This is Tortoise and Hare:
Plus here are the other Ashley Bryan blog posts from earlier this summer, and there are more Ashley Bryan books to come too! Here's the Ashley Bryan book link for today:
