Noko And The Kool Kats

This story, told in prose with bursts of song, concerns a Big City group which gets stuck in a ‘nowhere’ of Africa, where the locals not only provide help and hospitality but also show they are no mean musicians themselves. The Kool Kats (Lion, Leopard, Hyena, Cheetah) go to the village and then the fun starts, food is cooked, co-operation rescues the truck, and it’s time for the concert. “Bushbaby, shake that calabash-thing!” Under gnarled, twisting branches, the wild party begins.
