Read this book about 34 years ago. Note seen or held a copy in over 20 years. My kids are now the age I was when I read this book but private schools of these days have different texts.

That is, oh my guiness!

This is primary 3 Reader..it's not a novel.

Edet or Ali and simbi on Christmas day. Their father bought chicken to celebrate it.

Mehn...this takes me down memory lane and reminds me of my pry 3 teacher, Mr. Ibikunle. Very tall and grumpy old.
I remember, on one of our reading days, I just looked away for a sec and he threw a wooden duster at me and the thing hit me on the fore head. undecided.

Modified:
Wait o. If like many claimed, this is actually Ali and simbi, how come their father is Igbo? Is Ali an igbo name? Or even simbi? That is not Mr Nwosu lipsrsealed. I think it should be Mr Dada or something. ; Moreso, those two names are Muslim names

This brings back childhood memories. Life was simple and fun. Nigeria was safe.
I used New Oxford English Course (NOEC) though so I didn't get to read this in school.
This should be Macmillan Primary English Course 3/4. So I guess primary 3/4 for those who used it. I eventually read it anyway. I was addicted to books so I read everything that crossed my path: Novels, textbooks, Newspapers, magazines, Bible etc.
Are you sure you are not my lost twin brother.I also read anything text i came across.I even read my elder ones Gst textbooks while i was in Jss lol.

Lol. Maybe I am. I remember doing that too. In fact before I was done with JS1, I had read all the available literature books (Js1-Ss3) in my school.
Practical English also had lots of stories, so read those too.

It's me nwosu. At times,the publishers attach a separate story about any family to the readership,be it of Agbo or Ali and our dear Simbi.

I remember in pry5 reader... highly tribalized and religious and promoted the violence a certain religion stood for..Gandoki,who was a Muslim warrior who killed and forced people to him religion and killed those who refused. He even boasted of living a charmed life!!! Kids were made to read such garbage!!!!

It was taken out years later by the govt who saw it as inappropriate
