In the story Handa is taking a surprise bowl of fruit on a journey to her friend Akeyo. Different animals pinch the fruit without Handa realising it. There are lots of very interesting animals and fruit to find out about, making the journey really fun, As Handa’s journey comes to a close, a goat bumps into a tangerine tree, and fills up her empty bowl with tangerines. When she arrives at Akeyo’s village this leads to a happy surprise for Handa and Akeyo. Handa is surprised by the loss of the other fruit, and the replacement tangerines. Still there is a happy ending, because the other surprise is for Akeyo; who is so pleased that Handa has brought his favourite fruit. This is a really engaging and entertaining picture book. What makes this story so wonderful is the beautiful describing words.. It also introduces the theme of friendship and its importance, which is another positive to this story. The surprise at the end of the story adds a comical twist that brings the story to life. Altogether, this is a wonderful read and will make you smile. The simple story line and repetitive rhythm of the story, coupled with those colourful pictures, makes it ideal for story-time.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e#bookeryforkidsandmumsph_storybooks \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e#kidsbooksph \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e#childrensbooksph \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e#toddlerph \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e#raisingreadersph \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e#storybooksph\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e@bookeryforkidsandmums_ph\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cups of Tale Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39983079260248,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/5373\/7560\/files\/1_986fe907-626f-4aaa-92c8-a39784f9f958.jpg?v=1732808073","url":"https:\/\/cupsoftalebookshop.myshopify.com\/products\/handas-surprise-about-a-kenyan-girl","provider":"Cups of Tale Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
