recently I did a learning activity using the book Abiyoyo and Abiyoyo returns for a readig camp we have here at the museum. The children loved the format. We read Abiyoyo and then they got to create their very own village giant using model magic and markers then we finished with Abiyoyo returns. In my opinion.... Abiyoyo is far more interesting and exciting. It has more body and edge. Abiyoyo returns is tidy... evrything ends happily ever after. With the kids I worked with... there was enjoyment...more

I am a huge fan of the first Abiyoyo book but this one just didn't do it for me.
This is such a fun folk song. We sing it through the house. I love this book.
a good story for teaching music
I like this one even better than the first, especially because this version features the daughter of the boy, now man, who plays the ukelele and she plays the drums and facilitates the return of the giant as well as the town's eventual peace-making with the giant. Also has a great environmental politics edge. Brings the first story into the 21st Century and leaves us with hope of renewal and progress. Illustrated by the same guy who drew Jonathon and his mommy, another great book.
Things are not always as they seem. And sometimes, things turn out different, yet better than we plan, even thought at first, we may not feel it is better. I also like the power of music in the book.
