We All Went on Safari: A Counting Journey through Tanzania

This book is so fun! It's simple, colorful, and exciting to learn how to count in Swahili!

My son wants to read this book every night before bed. He picked up counting in Swahili after reading it the first two nights! He likes to name the animals in Swahili as well. Colorful artwork holds his interest as well. I like how the book gives a little insight into culture as well.

This is such a cute book. I bought it for our safari week and it’s perfect for our preschool class.

I read this every year to my classes because not only is it one of the best counting books I've come across, but I love the cultural aspect! Rhymes flow and are natural, plus the children's names are Swahili and you can learn how to count to 10 in Swahili in the back of the book.

I love this book! It's a cute story, nice illustration, and I love that it teaches my baby simple Swahili and interesting things about Tanzania.

Lovely rhyming book with accurate illustrations of the animals, people and terrain. It also contains a glossary with pronunciations of the Swahili and information about the animals, Maasai people, and Tanzania. My only quibble is that the Maasai we met preferred to speak their own language. However, since Swahili is the national language of Tanzania and spoken in several other countries, it is a nice way to introduce the language to children.

A lovely book for all children.

Great gift for children.
