Book was amazing . I read a story to five year old students, throughout the
story I was able retain their attention, colors and vivid illustration was great idea.
It kept young audience intrigued each time I turned the page. They were excited
to talk about the colors of the animals and we all had fun with pronunciation
with animal names and for the best part we learned about characteristics of
each animal and had a great with recall and class discussions afterwards
Way to go! Can wait for more to come! Like series of the stories, hint hint.
Sincerely, from pre-kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Bobbie!

Amazing book Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18,2024
This is an amazing book. My son absolutely loves it, he hasn't stopped asking me to read the book since we got it. The book has a great story, colorful and imaginative illustrations and most importantly is teaching my son about Africa, their animals and their people. It is also written very well and at the end of the book, there is a list of words my son is learning, one a day. I would definitely recommend this book to every parent. I will definitely buy more books by the authors. - Grazia F.

Excellent writing and illustrations Reviewed United Kingdom on August 6, 2024
It's a fantastic book, brilliantly written with exceptional illustrations. My toddlers love it and make me read it almost daily. It's a unique way to learn about Africa while also learning the alphabet. Well done. - Rob-o-cop
Absolutely beautiful!
I love the beginning story, Mulenga's Story! As a teacher I love the different words used for letters. They're not the same as other (alphabet) books, like 'I' is for Impala and 'J' is for Jackal. I mostly love how you have a dictionary in the back for harder words for kids to look up. - P. K.
Beautiful!
This is a must have for any parent with a little one. The illustrations are amazing, the words selected for each letter are unique and teachable. More importantly as a teacher, I how the authors offer a small dictionary at the end to help children learn new words and how to use a dictionary! Absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended.
