Customer Reviews

Fun to say and fun to read.

Sebgugugu The Glutton is not only fun to say, it is an excellent read. Verna Aardema's use of Bantu animal sounds lends an authentic air to this tale. In addition, this story teaches children valuable lessons about pride and selfishness. Nancy Clouse's illustrations are bold and engaging. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an excellent read aloud.
