Description: Fifteen years since it was first published, Pete Seeger's timeless tale of magic, music, and a hungry giant is now available with a full-length audio CD that includes two different performances of the Abiyoyo story song--one recorded as a gentle lullaby in 1958, and the other a rousing concert version from 1980. Full-color illustrations.
Brief description: Pete Seeger is a national treasure, arguably the most influential figure in American folk music as well as an important advocate of social causes. He lives in Beacon, New York.
Review Quotes: New York Times Book Review Told in the familiar Seeger style, with brief musical phrases of the one-word song incorporated in the text and printed complete at the end, and with illustrations full of light and color, this rendering of a South African tale is a pleasure.
