I had this book as a kid in the wee years of the 90s and gods how far along we came as a society and how horridly racist this book was

I did like the repetition of the book and that was a fictional book with fantasy book element but also an African history book. I think kids would like this book and its layout

I kind of liked this book. I think the story was fun and kids would really like that imaginative elements like the animals wearing human clothes

My mom found this in their basement. I celebrate Banned Books Week in my school library every September and this TITLE always comes up. What a great addition this will make for the discussion.
