DESCRIPTION:
Good reading for children. Km! Ra Simple but good. Good reading for children.. Service Review Minnie McDowell I like this book, however did not know when ordering that it was a children's book. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it. I am using it as a reference point. The drawings are great which increase the joy of reading this book. I can not compare this book to others only the author's other work because there is so little material available on the Kings & Queens of Africa. I would recommend this book to be read to younger children and for maybe 4th and 5th graders to read. As stated, it is a good book. Charles L Burt said good for struggling readers. A great book for struggling readers and just curious readers.This series is informative, factual, and, hopefully, of high interest to jr high and high school students.
A glossary and a list of resources conclude, though the organizations and online sites seem geared more to teachers than students. A welcome offering to complement African history units.

These volumes in a new Watts Library: Africa--Kings and Queens series offer a brief introduction to a few of the major figures in the continent's royal history. Although slim and generalized, the volumes have enough information for report writing. In addition to biographical information about each figure, the straightforward, readable text includes boxed insets that add a few very brief facts about colonial rule; apartheid is mentioned in a few paragraphs.

At the dawn of the 21st century, Southern Africa is changing in leaps and bounds
