(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rosanne Litzinger. In this adaptation of a southern African tale, a magical song bird helps young Mariamu steal back her village's cattle from the cruel monster Makucha. The flat perspectives and rainbow palette of the watercolor and colored pencil illustrations are a pleasing match for this traditional tale. Music for the Tanzanian tune used in the story and a glossary of Swahili words are provided.
