Good Book...You can use it in many different ways.
While the story may seem lacking in certain parts (like the only thing African about the book is the instrument and some clothing) anyone could use the book in a lesson, for example. As a future teacher I used the book with 2nd graders along with Annie's Gifts by Angela Shelf Greene. Both books are about talents that people have, or want to have. Anyways, I use...

Not much Masai
The only thing Masai or Kenyan about this book was the Masai mask. The book is about an African boy - possibly African American - who can't figure out what to do for the school talent show. His family wants him to play the kalimba, which by the way is not a Kenyan instrument. Joshua feels that his African instrument isn't cool enough. The story is a good story...

Not much Masai,
This review is from: Joshua's Masai Mask (Hardcover)
The only thing Masai or Kenyan about this book was the Masai mask. The book is about an African boy - possibly African American - who can't figure out what to do for the school talent show. His family wants him to play the kalimba, which by the way is not a Kenyan instrument. Joshua feels that his African instrument isn't cool enough.The story is a good story and illustrations are great. When I obtained this book I was hoping for a story about Masai people - or a little something about Kenya. You know, a children's story book. Anyway, I was initially quite disappointed with this book.

Anyways, I use Joshua's Masai Mask as an introduction to Africa. I read the book to the class and on following days, I focused on a variety of instruments, clothing, animals, and much much more that is all about Africa. :)
