Be prepared to enjoy the lively tales of the sly trickster, Ijapa the tortoise, in this book. These tales give storytellers the opportunity to creatively engage with their audiences. The call-and-response style used in this book is great for audience participation. The delightful illustrations are also brilliant taletellers in their own rights. The trickster captivates storytellers around the world. His eloquence and resourcefulness are subjects of discussion in many storytelling circles, especially in West Africa. He moves at a slow pace and carries a huge shell on his back; nevertheless, he is able to bring mighty animals, like the hippopotamus and the elephant, to their knees. Teachers can use this collection as a co-curricular resource to generate discussion in subjects such as: English, Geography, Religious Studies, Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE), and many others.
