I found Where Are You Going Manyoni? by Catherine Stock in my
local public library. It is the story of a little girl's walk to
school and everything she sees along the way. This story is set
along the Limpopo River in Zimbabwe. The water color pictures
are outstanding and really represent the landscape and animals
of Africa. What I really liked about this book is the
"Unfamiliar Words" list in the back which gives you the
pronunciation and the meaning of the word. There are also a
couple of pages of the animals the author has painted in the
book. It's fun to look at the animals at the back and then try
to find them on the pages in the book with your children. How
many bush pigs or elands can you find? This book would make an
excellent addition to any household with children, especially if
they really like animals or if you are looking for some nice
examples of water color painting. Interesting facts about the
Limpopo River: * The Limpopo River is over 1000 miles long and
is the second longest river in Africa
