The simple story line and repetitive rhythm of the story, coupled with those colourful pictures, makes it ideal for story-time. This is a beautiful vibrantly illustrated book. It introduces the young reader to new vocabulary and an often unexplored setting and culture. Set in an African village, we follow a tribal girl, Handa, on a journey to her friend.
Handa puts a selection of local fruits into a basket to surprise her friend Akeyo. As she travels through the countryside Handa wonders what fruit her friend will like most. Due to this preoccupation Handa fails to notice the local wildlife pilfering her fruits.
The artwork is so well presented that the tale could be told without the text. The book is designed to be read aloud, demonstrating the illustrations as it is done so. Browne has cleverly interwoven two levels to this story; the literature itself plays out the thought patterns of Handa as she heads off with a special basket of fruit to see her friend in the next village; whilst the illustrations portray a total different scenario, leaving both her and her friend totally surprised.
Overall is this an invaluable addition to any teaching environment as it can form the basis to many class activities such as posters, role play and discussions, spurring much conversation and questioning from the children about the world around them. Rachel Avison. When Handa reaches her friend she gets a surprise of her own: a basket of tangerines.
This book is ideal for young children, it provides an excellent resource for practicing counting and subtracting. It can also be used to help teach young children about different cultures as the story is set in Africa and about a variety of animals and fruit. The illustrations are bright and fascinating and could be used as a starter to ask children questions about the story, they could be used as inspiration for art activities. Suitable for children between the ages of three and seven years old.
These wonderful illustrations continue throughout the book, bringing it to life and pulling you into an exciting world of an African village. The story introduces children to other cultures, and in particular talks about African fruits. This is a great tool for encouraging children to try new fruits. They could even have a go at describing what each fruit looks and tastes like.
