The plot and message of the story is simple and direct - disobeying your elders leads to dire consequences. According to the author's note, the story is adapted from St. Thomas in Elsie Clews Parson's "Folk-Lore of the Antilles, French and English Part II (New York: American Folk-Lore Society, 1936). The content is engaging as it incorporates the nonsensical children's chants from the original story,
"Tanto, tanto, tango/Guavaberry, mango/Bombwiti, bombwiti/Bimbala, bango."
includes cultural-specific elements such as the johnnycakes and jumbie beads, and the dialogue stays true to cultural norms, for example, when Tukama comes home late, his grandmother says,
"Where you been, boy? It late! Don't you know a two-headed giant runnin' about here, lookin' for wild children to eat?"
The illustrations implement an impressionist style and uses rich, warm, and bright colors, complements the white text well, and beautifully depicts the characters, the island environment, and Tukuma's household.
Perfect for read-aloud story time for children ages 6-10 years old. ( )
