In this traditional tale, Nyame the African Sky God needs a big drum for his festival. He’s heard one he likes very much, but it belongs Osebo, the fierce and powerful Leopard. Nyame orders the animals to fetch it to him. It’s not going to be an easy task. However, the reward for the one who succeeds will be very special. The powerful chanting and drumming accompanying this Ashanti tale has earned it the distinction of an ALA Notable Children’s Recording.

“This African folktale read-along comes alive with the resonant voice of the Sky God and the background sounds of the jungle drums and chants. After the elephant and ostrich fail to defeat the leopard, the persistent turtle outwits his adversary in this satisfying, rewarding and exciting recording. The flip side encourages children to empathize with several African animals and to imitate the voices and characters in the story.”
