1,2,3, in Swahili!

Turn counting numbers into a cultural experience walking alongside the proud Maasai People as you read We all Went on Safari!

With the turn of each page, you’ll be counting in both English and Swahili.

This beautifully illustrated story was listed under the Math category for ages 3+ in the Barefoot Books Summer Reading Program list, but it easily overlaps into other subjects such as language and geography.

In addition, the different children mentioned in this story were given very meaningful names and in the end notes we learn what they symbolize.

Well, there are countless ways to engage your child with this book, as it’s another story time that effortlessly transforms into a new lesson and here are some questions to consider after reading:

1. Why is a Leopard easy to spot even though its way up high in a tree?
2. Is Tanzania the home of the highest mountain in Africa? If so, what’s it called?
3. Several decades ago, Tanzania went by another name. What was it?
4. What ocean is nearby?
5. If you love nature and the outdoors, what name would best describe you?
6. The Maasai people live in which part of Africa? (South, North, East or West?)
7. Which animal displays tender mommy instincts?
8. Tanzania is almost as big as which country in Europe?
