Why does the agouti have no tail? How did the dog lose his bone? Why can't the wasp make honey? Find the answer to these and other intriguing questions in Trish Cooke's exciting collection of Caribbean tales. The stories are told in a gentle rhyming style and introduce elements of local dialect, but remain easy to understand and appealing to children developing their independent reading.
