A picture book with enduring appeal

My daughter bought this book ... when she turned four. She just turned ten and still loves to have this story read to her and her siblings. I think they love both the story (slightly scary) and the amazing illustrations.

A Magical, Enchanting African Tale

This is a fabulous story my twin boys love to read over and over! The art is stunning and intriguing - a typical African tale dealing with good and evil and enchantment . . . A great African book - my boys are 3 1/2 and they love it, but I could see kids liking it up to 8 or so.
