Publisher's Synopsis

This humorous traditional tale from the Igbo people of Nigeria features the trickster tortoise, Mbeku, and shows how the tortoise got his rough, checkered shell as a result of Mbeku's greediness and cunning. "The combination of a lively narrative and vibrant illustrations result in a vivacious read-aloud choice." -- School Library Journal
