Free The Leopard's Drum, Punjabi/English-Language Edition: An Asante Tale From West Africa Ebooks Online
Osebo the leopard has a fine drum, a huge drum, a magnificent drum. All the animals covet Osebo’s drum, but he won’t 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 Souhami’s vibrant collage illustrations, full of movement and humor, add additional appeal to this delightful story. The short, rhythmic text is perfect for reading aloud.

Beautifully illustrated. a cute story from west Africa. My son asks me,all the time, to read this to him. Sometimes I hear him talking to the characters Osebo, Onini, Atchi Cheri in some game he is playing.I bought is used and it arrived in great condition!
This book is about a leopard who is very proud and his name is Osebo. I liked it when Achicheri (the tortoise) trapped Osebo in his drum. Then Achicheri took the drum with the leopard inside to the sky god, Nyame. A python, an elephant and a monkey all tried to get Osebo's drum, but they failed. But Achicheri got the drum by tricking Osebo. It was a great read.
It is such a rare find! Great folk tale with a good Punjabi translation.Grab it if you love Punjabi books for your children.Also, look at the folktales straight from the Punjab at folktalesofpunjab dot com.
This is my autistic grandson's favorite book. He lives so far away that I can only see him on SKYPE. But it is great having this book to discuss with him.
