About the book
Twenty-one Igbo trickster tales follow Mbe the Tortoise through schemes in which cunning, greed, pride, and quick thinking repeatedly meet their consequences.
Mbe, the celebrated tortoise trickster of Igbo storytelling, returns in twenty-one lively tales of wit, appetite, pride, and consequence. Designed for independent reading and read-aloud use, the collection opens conversations about responsibility, patience, friendship, greed, and wisdom without turning the stories into lessons.
