Synopsis
Crocodile is determined to eat fat and juicy–looking Hen!
But when he opens his mouth wide to swallow her, Hen calmly says, "My brother, don't eat me," and Crocodile just can't do it. What does Hen mean? How can Crocodile be her brother? Does Hen know something Crocodile doesn't?
Clever Hen outwits the confused and hungry Crocodile in this comic folktale from the Bakongo people of Africa.
Annotation
Crocodile is so confused by Hen calling him "brother" every time he gets ready to eat her that he finally goes searching for an explanation of how such a relationship can be.
Children's Literature
Clever Hen meets Crocodile each day as she searches for food down by the river. Day after day hungry Crocodile tells Hen that he is going to eat her. Just when Crocodile is ready to pounce, spunky Hen calls Crocodile her "brother" and goes about her business. Crocodile is confused. He wonders how Hen could be his sister. He cannot bring himself to eat the fat Hen if they are related. On his way to ask Wise Old Woman about this dilemma, he meets Lizard. Lizard acknowledges how different the two animals are: Crocodile lives in water and Hen lives on land, and so forth. But Lizard reasons that, since Hens lay eggs and Crocodiles lay eggs, they are alike in this way, and so, must be brothers and sisters. This amusing story, which is based on a folktale from the Bakongo people of the Republic of Congo, will intrigue and delight young readers. The text contains enough repetition to help beginning readers master new vocabulary. The illustrations really bring out Hen's saucy personality and Crocodile's bewilderment. This title is a Level 1 book in the publisher's "An I Can Read Book" series. |
