"The Story of the Leopard's Spots" is a folktale from Ghana, a country in Africa. Leopards have beautiful spotted coats, so it is hard to see them in the jungle. But the Ashanti people in Ghana do not think that leopards were always spotted! They believe that there was a time when leopards had no spots. Instead, their fur was many shades of gold and amber that shone gold in the sunbeams that shine between the jungle trees. "The Story of the Leopard's Spots" tells us how Leopards got their spots! This book teaches the counting of 1 to 5.
