About This Book
A cunning python coils around a tree heavy with juicy fruit, refusing to share unless the animals can name it correctly. One by one, Elephant, Monkey, and Zebra try to remember the tree's name after visiting Lion, but only slow and steady Tortoise can recall it by singing a special song. Thanks to Tortoise's cleverness, the animals enjoy a joyful feast beneath the magical Bojabi Tree.
