The 3 Little Dassies Hardcover - 2010
by Jan Brett; Jan Brett (Illustrator)
In the tradition of her bestseller "The Three Snow Bears," beloved artist Brett finds inspiration for her version of a familiar story in Namibia, where red rock mountains are home to appealing little dassies and hungry eagles. Full color.
Summary
Mimbi, Pimbi and Timbi hope to find "a place cooler, a place less crowded, a place safe from eagles!" to build their new homes. The handsomely dressed Agama Man watches from the borders as the eagle flies down to flap and clap until he blows a house down. But in a deliciously funny twist, that pesky eagle gets a fine comeuppance!
Bold African patterns and prints fill the stunning borders, but it is the dassies in their bright, colorful dresses and hats that steal the show in this irresistible tale, perfect for reading aloud.
