I want that Ape on my team!
As a captain of a fantasy basketall team I was interested in this and all other materials related to basketball. Admittedly what separated this novel from the others was the title. One day after having a frozen yogert I went to the bookstore to puruse the shelves when the title reached out and grabbed me. I said to myself "I may not be big, but I'm certainly hairy"...naturally I purchased the book and fell madly in love with that crazy ape! ... Read more

A Book Bearing Humor
This book contains copious amounts of wit, wisdom, and whimsy. The photographs of polar bears, in their natural habitat, are marvellous, and the accompanying captions are extremely comical. Forget about the java, put this book on your coffee table! ... Read more

Wise little Wiley
One of the best retellings of this classic African-American tale, where little Wiley, with the help of his mother, outsmarts a conjure man who wants to eat him!

Molly Bang is amazingly in touch with southern magical mojo
The only reason I give this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because the quality of the illustration reproduction could be higher (the illustrations being excellent in themselves). If you have ever lived in the deep south, you may have experienced some feeling of magic in the air, some feeling of ancient strength or knowledge that is just beyond the bayou. Molly Bang has tapped into this with a powerful mythical story of survival within the mojo filled natural world. (similar in flavor to the Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher). She has also told the tale of a very strong woman and child who overcome a force (the Hairy Man) who threatens them. We have two children, age 2.5 and 9 who both enjoy this story.

This book was ok
This book was a little stupid. I think it could be a a little more challenging. ... Read more
