false 845403 21 Mufaro was a happy man. Everyone agreed that his two daughters were very beautiful. Nyasha was kind and considerate as well as beautiful, but everyone -- except Mufaro -- knew that Manyara was selfish, badtempered, and spoiled. When the king decided to take a wife and invited "The Most Worthy and Beautiful Daughters in the Land" to appear before him, Mufaro declared proudly that only the king could choose between Nyasha and Manyara. Manyara, of course, didn't agree, and set out to make certain that she would be chosen. John Steptoe has created a memorable modern fable of pride going before a fall, in keeping with the moral of the folktale that was his inspiration. He has illustrated it with stunning paintings that glow with the beauty, warmth, and internal vision of the land and people of his ancestors. 94898 31 3 1987 Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters (Reading Rainbow Book) total:414|5:160|4:160|3:81|2:13|1:0| 414 1709 488 70 3 3 false false Sun Dec 28 05:04:38 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 08:30:30 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 15 11:30:12 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 11:38:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 19:30:51 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 19:41:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jan 30 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 16:54:59 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 17:04:59 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Oct 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 08:52:39 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 08:58:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 29 09:07:15 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 03:04:11 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue May 27 02:31:58 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 02:32:56 -0700 2008 Spectacular illustrations that show Great Zimbabwe as the king's city.]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jul 25 16:00:26 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 16:10:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Apr 30 13:36:34 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 13:40:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Dec 02 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 20:36:53 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 20:39:12 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 10:56:14 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 10:57:52 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 true false Sat Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 15:47:31 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 15:51:59 -0700 2009 countless more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Dec 11 09:40:31 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 09:42:14 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jun 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 03:24:19 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 03:27:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jun 14 22:04:47 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 22:11:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 23 14:28:21 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 14:30:00 -0700 2009 This is an African folk tale. it's a great story about two sisters who go to be see which one will be chosen to marry the king.
