COMMUNITY REVIEWS
a very good book submitted by juju6471 on July 12, 2013, 4:38pm This alphabet book is a good one!
I love this book submitted by cbrewster on August 26, 2013, 7:20pm The illustrations are wonderful and they help the reader to experience a little bit of African culture. The words that are taught in Swahili all have great importance to the people that speak that language which also teaches about culture.
