An excellent introduction to African-derived rhythm,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shake Shake Shake: Family Celebration Board Books (Board book)
My son received this book as a first birthday present. We read it at the party and it became his absolute favorite right then and there. If you have a child who is musically inclined or even if you just want a book that can link you and your child with your African heritage without being dogmatic and boring, this is the book for you. But beware! The rhyme is so catchy, you'll have to read it at least 6 times per sitting! Oh yeah, and you'll probably want to go out and get a shekere yourself...
