The Market Bowl

32 pp. | Charlesbridge | February, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58089-368-8 $16.95
(3) K-3 This is an original tale of a young girl in Cameroon who, in her laziness and greed, insults the Great Spirit of the Market when she rips off a customer buying bitterleaf stew. Yoyo is a brave, spunky child who learns from her mistake. The art, with strong patterns, earth tones, and digital elements, satisfactorily captures the setting. A recipe is appended. Glos.
