Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Nwemb, a young boy living in Cameroon, is unhappy to learn that his family will be leaving the city for a vacation in the village where his grandparents live. Once there, though, he makes friends with Masso and does exciting things with him, like fishing, exploring the forest, and listening to stories about their ancestors. As the vacation ends, Nwemb realizes that he has come to love the simple village life and vows to return soon. This dull, prosaically told tale lacks virtually any richness of detail: there is no description of what is in the forest, of the fish in the river, or of the prey the boys are hunting in the fields. Nor is there enough information to compare and contrast city and village life. The bright, childlike illustrations are equally unappealing.

Heather's Review,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Vacation in the Village (Story from West Africa) (Paperback)
Vacation in the Village is a very wonderful book. I really liked this book because it proves a very important life lesson. I think that every parent should read this book to thier children to teach it to them this lesson. Evey child in the world should learn this lesson and know this lesson. The lesson that they teach is to not judge a book by its cover. If you read this book then you might get that same exact lesson. It also talks about how to keep an open mind about waht might happen. Those are the two lessons that I got from this book. This book is for everyone of all ages.
