Barksdale-Hall cleverly weaves together two South African folktales, the "Lion and the Ostrich" and the "Lion Who Thought Himself Wiser than his Mother" made lively by Murray’s bold and colorful illustrations.

Monkey watches as a tiny mouse proves to be a valued friend to Lion, and as Buzzard takes advantage of other animals but gets his comeuppance, in this weaving together of two African folktales.
