Tumpe, Mosi, and their Maasai friends walk through the grasslands of Tanzania, and as they walk along, they count many kinds of animals in both English and Swahili.
This is a very colorful book which introduces Kiswahili counting as a group of young people walk through the Tanzanian landscape. It is fun to look at, as the plot is conveyed mainly through the pictures. This book would appeal to very young children who are introduced to the environment portrayed in the pictures. Older children might enjoy using this to learn Kiswahili counting. My eight year old learned her first Kiswahili words with this book.
A fun book to read introducing Tanzanian culture and Swahili through counting.
The back has come great information on the country.
