I feel like I just got back from a trip to Africa and I had such a good time. This may be a children's Chapter book but I really enjoyed it. What a fantastic way to learn about such a far away place that never seems so beautiful in the news. I didn't just fly through this book even though I could have. I stopped to look up every new term, plant or animal. I look up African words and places and gazed at pictures of Tabletop mountain. I loved every bit of the story.
