(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Mouni Feddag. Illustrated with vibrant mixed-media drawings of the people, products, and landmarks of Africa, this geographical overview by Atinuke, known for her Anna Hibiscus books set in "Amazing Africa" and others, treats readers to a smorgasbord of countries and customs, emphasizing: "African countries must be the most diverse on the planet!" Colorful hand-drawn maps peppered with spot art--plus words of welcome in a variety of languages--introduce each region of the continent, followed by a page for each country, including a paragraph about what the country is known for, one or two additional facts, and a dynamic illustration. Additional pages cover African religions, hair styles, and obsession with football (a.k.a. soccer). Perfect for browsing or for inspiring internet exploration, the book ends with an index and a list of related links.
