The stories in this book show how the
different African cultures have used their myths to explain the natural occurrences
of nature. Because there is no one single African culture, you will have many
variations of the same myths. The book covers a myth from the countries of
Nigeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, Southern Africa, and Ghana.
The format of this book is very useful for schools. Each chapter covers a tribe. It is further divided in four parts: explanation of the tribe, the myth, questions and answers, and expert commentary.
This text is crisply written and fully illustrated with a low reading level accompanied by full color illustrations. The inclusion of several lists, where to obtain more information, web sites, a glossary, and index make this a useful research tool.
This book and others in the series will appeal to both young and old alike. The student will look at it with curiosity while the adults chuckle with memories.
