Calling all explorers!



Foster, K. (2008). Atlas of Africa. Minneapolis, MN: Picture Window Books.

Calling all explorers! If you have ever wondered if there was really a place called Madagascar, this is your book. This book is filled with marvelous places and fantastic photos of mythical places like Timbuktu and Zanzibar! From the lush valley of the Nile to the heights of Mount Kilimanjaro, you do not have to leave the comforts of home to experience cattle herding with the Masai people, learn the ways of the Kalahari desert with tribal children, and fish in the mighty Nile River like people have done for the past ten thousand years.

Lions, hyenas and giraffes, oh my! This exciting introduction to Africa will answer all of your previous questions and leave you with a wide range of knowledge. You will discover some of the ways that children go to school, some of the foods that they like to eat, and you will gain a better understanding of things that we all have in common, no matter where we live. Reach out your hand and choose the Atlas of Africa. Change the way you view your world!
