Book Description
From mist- and mystery-shrouded Mount Meru to a young girl's coming home to her family's relentless hospitality, to a hungry lion prowling the Serengeti Plain, to a bus crowded with squawking chickens and curious billy goats (not to mention people!) -- thirteen lively poems and piquant watercolors capture the sights, sounds, and scenery of Tanzania.
