Abiyoyo Abiyoyo

Once there was a little boy who played the ukelele. Wherever he'd go he'd play,Clink, clunk, clonk.His father was a magician. Wherever he'd go, he'd make things disappear,Zoop! Zoop!Soon the townspeople grew tired of the boy's noise and his father's tricks, and banished both of them to the edge of town.There they lived, until one day the terrible giant Abiyoyo appeared. He was as tall as a tree, and it was said that he could eat people up. Everyone was terrified, except the boy and his father, and they came up with a plan to save the town....Pete Seeger's storysong, made up for his own children, finds its perfect match in Michael Hays's masterful paintings. As a special bonus, this edition includes a CD of Pete performing two different versions of "Abiyoyo." You'll love to follow and sing along as you listen to Pete tell this richly vivid and exciting story.

Pete Seeger has been a storyteller for fifty years and has written such songs as "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," "Turn, Turn, Turn," and, with Lee Hays, "If I Had a Hammer." Pete still lives with his wife, Toshi, near Beacon, New York.
