Items related to A Baobab is Big: And Other Verses from Africa
Once again author and illustrator Jacqui Taylor has drawn inspiration from the animals, plants and images of Africa for this delightful book of verse. Children will love the bright colours, textures and detail in her illustrations, which are factual rather than fantastical and therefore educational, yet in a fun style. The verses themselves are rhythmical and make use of indigenous words in the context of the imagery. Also included is a section of fascinating facts that teach and 'add value' to the verses themselves.

Review:
." . . Beautifully layered with expressions, as the uses of this ancient tree are expressed through charming verse."Mail & Guardian (South Africa)"The stories are charming but not saccharine, written with a whimsical turn of phrase that will charm both adults and children. . . .The illustrations . . .are absolutely gorgeous. There's so much detail that even very young children will be absorbed. --"Cape Argus City Late (South Africa)
