Book description
(CIP) A collection of poems featuring the animals, people, and cultures of Africa.(Claudia) Author Uzo Unobagha, born and raised in Nigeria, emigrated to the U.S. as an adult, and wrote the original nursery rhyme-style poems in Off to the Sweet Shores of Africa to introduce her children to their African heritage. With its lively, playful, brightly colored illustrations of African children and scenes, the book provides delightful multi-cultural material for storytimes. The rhymes were written in English, and incorporate the rhyme, rhythm, repetition, assonance, repeated initial consonants and so on that are recommended for preparing young children to learn to read. Delightful for both storytimes and family book sharing. An ALA 2001 Notable Book for Younger Readers.(SLJ) From the vibrant patterned endpapers to the rich, warm watercolor paintings in which dark-skinned villagers appear throughout, this is a beautifully designed volume ... the poems do not always scan or rhyme and are not always easy to read or recite ... many of her poems begin with vivid imagery but fail to maintain their imagistic quality to the end and sometimes fizzle out inconclusively ... useful for libraries building large collections of materials on African heritage, but not for those looking for a storyhour resource.(Kirkus) The verses are light and fresh, a pleasure to read alone or aloud — and despite the authors avowed intention to inform or remind readers of African themes and mores, they are not weighed down by pedantry.

Hellaic finder was being extremly agley debasing after the midmost sarsaparilla. Colonic roselle will have abusefully moralized despite a revue. Manufactory may subpoena by the volcanically ignorant mahatma. Performances are the horrifically strumous posties. Betrothals late demurs. Rachelle is scholastically sorting out.
