A Baobab is Big : And Other Verses from Africa
Jacqui Taylor
Hardcover
(Struik Publishers (Pty) Ltd, Aug. 16, 2005)
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 colors, 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."
