Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
When a boy asks why he has no brothers and sisters, his father tells him he has thousands of them in Africa. An informal description of 21 African tribes follows. "The protagonists' chipper interchange... keeps the material from becoming dry and didactic," said PW. Ages 4-7.

This review is from: Africa Brothers And Sisters (Paperback)
This is an absolutely wonderful story. My 5 year old daughter wants to read it over and over again. It provides a positive father/child image. The illustrations are beautiful. The story talks about various countries in Africa and their particular specialty (i.e. basket weaving/kente cloth, etc.) The story is told in such a way that even young children can easily remember and associate the places and tribes in Africa with their trades. It also has a beautiful picture in the back of the continent of Africa that lends itself well for copying to use in discussions about geography. My 5 year old received this book when she was 3 years old and we still enjoy reading it as do her friends at school.
