Young children will enjoy the sound of the words read to them by an adult, older children will be stimulated to improve and increase their vocabularies, while adults will delight in the charming alliterations and imagery. Bright, detailed illustrations highlight the flora, fauna, places and customs of Africa.
This book is great. Not only did my child learn new words, I did too. The illustrations are good and the verse makes it more interesting to younger children. The glossary in the back is very detailed and informative.

I'm so glad I bought this book for my baby. He is only 3 months old but is absolutely captivated by the gorgeous illustrations and I, as an English teacher, am just in awe of the beautiful writing. This is brilliant for babies, children and adults alike!
