Description

A day in the life of a young boy named Manu, who lives on the island of Bora Bora. The story outlines his activities of the day, culminating in a great feast as ordered by the King. Manu's preparations for the feast are excellent, and his roast pig is chosen by the King as the best tasting of all the roast pigs (a great honor). The illustrations are beautifully done with earthy tones and wood-cut lithography type designs.

First Sentence

The Pacific Ocean is as full of islands as a good pudding is full of raisins.
