Book Description
Bob The Seeing Eye Frog is a funny, rhyming picture book about some animals becoming good friends by getting along well together and by genuinely helping each other to live in the Understory of the forest. Ned the Dog can't see well. Before his good friend Bob the seeing eye Frog came along, Ned the Dog kept swatting at Flies inside his eyeglasses. Then they would fall off of his face, and he would tumble. His life was actually kind of hard. No one could help him. Then, along came Bob. Now you know that any Frog could find plenty of Flies to eat without riding on a Dog's head. So why would he want to help a Dog?...Maybe because he wanted a friend? To have friends you must be a friend. Life is exactly like that isn't it? Think of your best friends. You enjoy doing the same things, so naturally you frequently do them together...and that is how you meet other good friends. Much more than just sharing common interests...a true friend wants you to enjoy your life, and they will try to do things to help make that happen. Be a friend...help someone today...even if they look different than you. Everybody needs friends. Somewhere, someone needs you.

Pages : 164
Book Description
The moon is high and round. Its silvery light washes over and illuminates all in the homestead. In the centre of the homestead is a small bonfire. Some women are roasting corn and pears. Not far from the bonfire, sat a group of children and adults. The attention of the group is focused on the old man with a cow tail flung casually over his left shoulder. The group is expectant. Their concentration is total. The night has gone suddenly very quiet. The old one clears his throat noisily. "e;Chapkrii"e; he bellows with a gesticulation of his left hand."e;Waaaaarrri"e;, the listeners reply in chorus."e;Once upon a time"e;, he begins, drawing out the words slowly."e;And time came upon time,"e; the group replies. "e;The tortoise and the he-goat used to be best friends,"e; began the old man, a dry smile of superior wisdom on his lower lip. The above is one of the many traditional African storytelling scenes, which Wooden Gongs and Drumbeats seeks to recapture. Funny, witty, light-hearted and highly amusing, Dahi also brings together some of the idioms and proverbs commonly used in Africa. These are, as they say, the salt with which prudent speakers spice words and statements. Their measured and apt usages are also widely regarded as the hallmarks of sober oratory. A must-read to all interested in understanding the African worldview!
