Master Man: A Tall Tale of Nigeria told by Aaron Shepard, illustrated by David Wisniewski, Harper Collins, 2001, ISBN 0-688-13783-0
PS: A boastful strong man learns a lesson harder than his muscles when he encounters one of Nigeria's superheroes in this Hausa tale which explains the origin of thunder.
Done in almost graphic novel style, this book would lend itself to a discussion of dialogue (it is complete with speech bubbles) and/or a Reader's Theater.
Love this quote (by Master Man's wife to him): "Quit your foolish boasting. No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger, and someday you may meet him!"
