With roots in European folktales and American slave stories, this tale celebrates the trickster tradition of overcoming hardship by using one's wits. An exciting vertical format takes this funny story to its most entertaining extreme.

Beautifully illustrated rhythmic story of a whole family adventuring together outdoors. Littlest ones will love pointing out repeated features in the illustrations, and can even join in with 'Oh no!' Older children will soon be able to recite the whole book--useful for car trips and adapting to your own group adventures!

Comical and engaging, the story begs to be shared! A classic being re-released in an anniversary edition.
