Of all the animals in the rain forest, Jabuti was the favorite. His shell was smooth and shiny, and the songs he played on his flute were sweet.

But his music was also a reminder of the mischievous pranks Jabuti sometimes played. His song reminded Tapir of being tricked, Jaguar of being fooled, and time and again it reminded Vulture that he had no song at all. When a concert takes place in heaven, Vulture offers to fly Jabuti there. . .and plays a trick of his own.

In this triumphant addition to his award-winning trickster series, Gerald McDermott retells and age-old myth and makes it new—in language as vibrant, colorful, and bold as his dazzling illustrations.
