Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Leopard's Drum by Jessica Souhami West African Asante folktale with bold illustration inspired by shadow puppets. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Osebo the leopard has a fine drum, a huge drum, a magnificent drum. All the animals covet Osebos drum, but he wont let anyone else have it, not even Nyame, the Sky-God. So, Nyame offers a big reward to the animal that brings him the drum. All try - the monkey, the elephant, even the python - and all fail. Can a very small tortoise succeed in outwitting the boastful leopard? Jessica Souhamis vibrant collage illustrations, full of movement and humor, add additional appeal to this delightful story. The short, rhythmic text is perfect for reading aloud. Author Biography Jessica Souhami studied at the Central School of Art and Design. In 1980 she formed Mme Souhami and Co, a travelling puppet company using colourful shadow puppets with a musical accompaniment and a storyteller. Her illustrations, like her puppets, use brilliant colour and bold shapes and her characters leap and swoop across the spreads. Her books for Frances Lincoln are Sausages!, Foxy!, The Strongest Boy in the World, In the Dark, Dark Wood, Baba Yaga and the Stolen Baby, Leopards Drum, No Dinner!, Rama and the Demon King, The Famous Adventures of a Bird Brained Hen, The Little, Little House, Mrs McCool and the Giant Cuchulainn, The Sticky Doll Trap, and King Pom and the Fox. Jessica lives in North London. Review "The illustrations are outstanding. Adapted from characters created for [Jessicas] own travelling puppet shows, they startle and enchant like shadow puppets in a live performance.
