My native country Tanzania\nwas preoccupying me. I felt the urge to share these wonderful childhood memories.\nIt was time to show my gratitude to all my teachers who made my school days a\njoy to remember and also to share the gift of memory with all the children in this\nuniverse.\n\nThis book consists of nursery rhymes, songs and 20 Swahili folk tales translated into\nEnglish. The stories were written and submitted by school children from Manundu\nPrimary School in my hometown Korogwe. In Tanzania, oral lore is a common\ntradition of transmitting stories from one generation to another. I did not wish to\nsee this knowledge get lost but get preserved in a form of written book. The nursery\nrhymes, songs and animal facts were contributed by me. These were inspired by\nmemories from my school time experiences and also a wish to instill children with an\nappreciation for the wild animals, especially those belonging to the List of Threatened\nAnimals.\n\nFor every child who wishes to explore their wild and fun side, just flick through\nthe pages of this book and get acquainted with the Swahili folklore and Tanzanian\nwildlife. Tanzania warmly welcomes you. \"Karibu sana!\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1665595108\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1665595108.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gonsalves, Gloria D.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
