My daughter loves this book! She is learning so much about Africa and having fun at the same time! We are using it with the student pages. I haven't seen any other resource/text book that even comes close to it.

This was SO much fun! My son and I enjoyed this more than anything else we have done this year. The book has beautiful pictures, great stories, and tons of information. There are lots of extra activities and recipes. We had a terrific time making Nok sculptures and batiking. My son(11) has such a heart for Africa now!
