Review Excerpts: |
- "The title says it all. Instead of the 'vanishing tribes' view of one Africa with tourists from different countries photographing the animals and primitive people, this informative picture book celebrates the diversity of the 53 nations that make up the continent today....readers will want to go on from here to explore in depth particular countries that interest them. The essential differences and connections are here."--Booklist
