| Summary |
"A Nigerian storyteller explores the continent of Africa country by country: its geography, peoples, animals, history, resources, and cultural diversity. The book is divided into five distinct sections -- South, East, West, Central, and North -- and each country is showcased on its own bright, energetic page brimming with friendly facts on science, industry, food, sports, music, wildlife, landscape features, even snippets of local languages. The richest king, the tallest sand dunes, and the planets largest waterfall all make appearances along with drummers, cocoa growers, inventors, balancing stones, salt lakes, high-tech cities, and nomads who use GPS! Atinukes lively and comprehensive introduction to all fifty-five African countries -- a celebration scaled to dazzle and delight even very young readers -- evokes the continents unique blend of modern and traditional. Complete with colorful maps, an index, and richly patterned and textured illustrations by debut childrens book artist Mouni Feddag, Africa, Amazing Africa is both a beautiful gift book and an essential classroom and social studies resource."-- Provided by publisher. |
