A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Princess Who Lost Her Hair: An Akamba Legend (Legends of the World) (Paperback)
THE PRINCESS WHO LOST HER HAIR was a spectacular book! It really illustrates what life in Africa is like. This book seems like a combination of many fairytales, but with an African twist. The beautiful pictures create an African vibe. I would definitely recommend this book to almost all young children. This has been one of my favorite books since I was little, and I will continue to love it for the rest of my life!

This review is from: The Princess Who Lost Her Hair: An Akamba Legend (Legends of the World) (Paperback)
This book is really good in that it helps to explain how weather can effect different things. It also is a great teacher for kindness to others even the small and different. As a mother with a child that has aloepica this book was not really a lot of help in that matter. My 12 year old did lit the book though and love the illstrations in it. They are so righ in color. I also used this in my Jr. High class as we were studying Africa and we thought it would be a neat way to introduce the idea of a drought to the students. The story of the princess not showing kindness to the bird and the results to her was a good lesson. The way the books ends shows that kindness given will be returned. Really all in all it's a good feel good book for all ages.
