literalContent: 'A Lexile® measure represents either an individual's reading ability (a Lexile reader measure) or the complexity of a text (a Lexile text measure). Lexile measures range from below 200L for early readers and text to above 1600L for advanced readers and materials. When used together Lexile measure help a reader find books at an appropriate level of challenge, and determine how well that reader will likely comprehend a text. When a Lexile text measure matches a Lexile reader measure, this is called a "targeted" reading experience.

Musgrove uses the alphabet book concept to showcase 26 traditional African cultures. For each one, she explains a custom about that culture in one paragraph. Each entry emphasize the variety in the cultures she has chosen. There is no particular rhythm to the prose, she does not use rhyme or repetition, and for that reason it is not an exciting book to read aloud.For each culture represented, the Dillons illustrated a detailed, realistic family or community scene. Each scene is framed with the same knot design, and each contains a male, female, and child of that particular people, as well a depiction of their home and fauna native to their part of Africa. Despite this planned similarity, each scene is unique. The Dillons depict each tribe with varying skin tones and facial features, use a wide variety of colors and patterns and apparently did extensive research to make each scene accurate. Though they have attempted to be realistic, their style is also traditional, reminiscent of a fairy tale book, with soft lines, gentle shading and muted colors. In addition, the perspective is somewhat stylized, adding a folk art feel. Their illustrations combine well with Musgrove's writing, as they both work together to bring out the beauty and mystique of a culture foreign to most readers.It is intended for the standard picture book age*, and may not be appropriate. Preschoolers may not be mature enough to understand or be interested in other cultures yet, though these illustrations could be enticing enough to make them want the book read aloud. Many of the terms will be too advanced for early readers, making this one that will need to be read with an adult for the majority of those in the intended age range.*note: I have since found out that Amazon has this rated for the wrong age group; according to the Children's Literature Comprehensive Database it is intended for grades 4-5.

Excellent work. Well written with beautiful illustrations! It uses the alphabet to work the story through a series of African tribes. It starts with "A" for Ashanti civilization and works its way through multiple groups of African people until it reaches "Z" for Zulu.The pictures are thought-provoking and have led to many discussions regarding different types of dress and why people dress differently for weddings and everyday clothing.I wish someone would produce a film to accompany the book so we could see the people in action. It would also be wonderful if the author would remake the book for an older crowd. Same concept but with more information or at least links to more information about each group. Because, this book is really appropriate for the 5-8 aged group of children. Each page contains only about a paragraph of information.

Educationally this is a well written book with beautiful colors and illustrations. As a mother, I am learning about tribes of people in our mother land with this great book! I appreciate the pronunciation help given for each African word introduced.I think every family- regardless of color should own this book and have a great understanding of the vastness of the countries and tribes of Africa.My only recommendation is to get the hard cover copy of the book. I ordered paperback, but I first discovered it at the library in hard copy and I wish I ordered it in the hard cover option.Enjoy!

This purchase was absolutely one of the worst choices made through AMAZON. To describe this experience would be exhausting,adjectives and no other parts of speech are all I can think of .After weeks of DELAYS, DELAYS, DELAYS then complete DISAPPOINTMENT. The images in this copy lack color and luster that is essential to a successful children's picture book not to mention the storyteller. The illustrations are reproductions of art, for goodness sake. If this is the definition of LIBRARY EDITION, DON'T SELL this edition. This item is the worst copy of this edition, I have every seen.

Each African tribe featured in this classic picture book is shown with a native creature, local handicraft, man woman and child, dwelling, and textile. So much to see and love on every page.

Beautiful traditions and images from Africa all set to the letters of the alphabet. There is also an excellent map on the last page of the book showing where all the various ethnic groups mentioned in the book are from on the continent. The book also showcases the diversity of the African continent.

Really like everything about this book!

Wonderful book!

Beautiful illustrations!
