Summary: Delighted to find a new counting BOOK
Comment: 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 names that fit us best.
It was really grand to be introduced to counting with some fresh subject material. We really enjoy books in our house that integrate a number of subjects for maximum learning.

Summary: beautiful
Comment: This is my one-year-old's favorite book. The language is lilting and repetitive, just right for small children, the illustrations are gorgeous, and the information at the back of the book will be wonderful for an older child. I plan to send this as a gift to all my friends having babies.

Summary: Eye candy
Comment: This book is just gorgeous to look at. The artwork is wonderful. I really enjoy cultural books like this.
What child wouldn't want to learn how to count such exotic creatures as leopards, lions, ostriches, giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, zebras, warthogs, monkeys, and elephants. It is an extra treat that the swahili names are added too.
This is so much better than an ordinary counting book with it's interesting creatures and cultural introduction to Tanzania. A great way to encourage kids to learn about far away places.
We combined this book with Mama Panya's Pancakes and had a wonderful time learning about Africa.

Summary: Great book, beautiful illustrations
Comment: This is a favorite for my 2 year old. Counting is represented 3 ways on each page spread - in the text, a visual number in the same location on each page, and by the number of animals on each page. Great picture book for counting, nice text for reading.
The back of the book offers a bit of material that we read over as well - descriptions of the Masai people, and their way of life, a map of Tanzania, and visuals + descriptions for all of the animals.

Join Arusha, Mosi, Tumpe and their Maasai friends as they set out on a counting journey through the grasslands of Tanzania. Along the way, the children encounter all sorts of animals including elephants, lions and monkeys, while counting from one to ten in both English and Swahili. The lively, rhyming text is accompanied by an illustrated guide to counting in Swahili, a map, notes about each of the animals, and interesting facts about Tanzania and the Maasai people.
