When Juan comes across a crocodile tied to a tree, the captive animal promises the young boy a gold ring as a reward, if he will free him from his predicament. But once they are out on the river, the crocodile threatens to eat his erstwhile savior. Clever Juan asks an old basket, an abandoned hat, and a clever monkey if this is fair, hoping to outwit and escape the crocodile. When I came across this Philippine folk story at the library, and saw that it was written and illustrated by the same team who worked with Joseph Bruchac on such picture-books as Raccoon's Last Race and How Chipmunk Got His Stripes, I immediately picked it up. A cautionary tale that warns of trusting to the gratitude of others, it is a fun little story, with colorful, cartoon-like illustrations. Published in 1972, it does feel a little dated, but readers interested in Philippine folklore will want to take a look at it regardless. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
