 Rating:  - Counting in Swahili is CoolAlong with its companion book, this is a wonderful children's book (but I love it too.) It not only teaches Swahili numbers, but a bit of east African culture too Rating:  - Moja Means One - a reviewThis is a lovely little book by a couple who have lived and taught in East Africa. They obviously loved the experience because they were inspired to produce this Caldecott winner. Though the book was written with African-American children in mind, I believe all children can benefit from reading it. Each number is accompanied by a two-page grayscale drawing. The lack of color may be a problem for younger readers. My 3 year-old son, for example, was not interested in a second read ...

The illustrations are pleasing to the eye and add to the effect of the counting. For example, on the pages for tano (five) their is a brief description of the animals found in Africa and there are five animals in the picture. This is a good book to read not only to children, but is also good for anyone who is interested in learning about foreign languages and cultures. Rating: - Not just counting but a cultural experienceMuriel and Tom Feelings have put together a book which counts from 1-10 in Swahili, but also through the rich illustrations introduces us to the culture of Africa. The book contains an introduction which explains the languages spoken and some informative details about the area. The book gives you the pronunication codes for the words. I was impressed by this seemingly simple book which is packed with sights and sounds of East Africa. Rating: - Moja Means OneThe book is more of an infomational piece than a story book. It shows you how to count from one to ten in the Swahili Language. Besides each number is a fact pertaining to the East African culture. The illustrations are beautiful and very artistic. A bow to Mr. Feelings for such artistry. In the introduction of the book is a brief information piece on Africa and the Swahili language. A must for African American children reading.
