| We all went on Safari, walks you through Tanzania with some Tanzania children, they see things on the plains and count them in English and in Swahili.
I found this book simply fascinating. In addition to the little counting story, there is a map of Tanzania and there are little factoids about the animals the children see and the Maasai people, and the land itself. There is also a section on what the names of the Swahili children in the book mean. We all picked out Swahili ... Read More: |

| The book follows a group of children traveling the Nile River, north from Abu Simbel up to Cairo, the route taken by most river cruises. They stop at some of the best known sites in Egypt: the temples at Abu Simbel, Aswan, Kitchener's Island, the Valley of the Kings, Al-Faiyum Oasis, Cairo and the Cairo Museum, before ending their trip at the Giza plateau.

| A lovely book that introduces exotic animals, talks about days of the week, has a catchy refrain (that we sing), and exudes pure happiness through its words and images. My 2.5 year old daughter loves it! |

| This book tells the story of a Chinese family of traders who travel the Silk Road from Xian in the East to Kashgar and back again. The illustrations are watercolours with rich colour and extra detail is added to the goods bought along the way. The background although usually simple and serene shows changes in the countryside travelled through. I feel the book conveys the romance, excitement and history of the Silk Road to children and adults. I have read it to my class at school and have accompanied it by excerpts ... Read More: |
