The Baobab Tree

A lively African folktale about a complaining tree getting its comeuppance, with fabulous colourful illustrations. Long ago, when the gods made the world, they created the Baobab tree... and the Baobab tree was not happy. It didn't like the sun and the rain and the wind. It didn't like animals and birds that settled in and under its branches. It envied the other trees for their graceful leaves, their bright flowers and their succulent fruit. Finally the gods tired of its constant complaining, and made sure that it would never say another word. With fun activities after the story, and online audio in both British English and American English. Beautifully produced, with world-class full-colour artwork throughout. A classic story retold in a fluent and natural style, made highly accessible for English language learners. Series devised and edited in collaboration with acclaimed ELT consultant Peter Viney.
