curbj402 said: This themed book describes and illustrates African tribes from a to z. Each letter is given its own page and illustration. Each tribe has a description and pronunciation guide. Any words that may seem unclear are described, and the vocabulary is comprehendible to (I would imagine) second graders.
The illustrations were created with watercolor, pastels, and acrylic paint. Each page has a picture corresponding to a letter. Each illustration is bordered with white, and the text is below. The illustrations enhance the text, but you could not determine the alphabet letter without it. Nature is a key element in these because Africa is so abundant in wildlife. The detail on some of the clothes is very realistic, and probably required a lot of research.
