The repetition and rhythm of the story makes this book a great read-aloud for children; furthermore, the striking illustration and collage style design of the book takes readers through a variety of landscapes and encounters with animals found in Uganda. It is an interesting way to introduce children to the geography and culture of this country in the heart of Africa. More indepth maps at the back of the book give further insight on one of Uganda's most prominent features, the Nile River, as its begins its journey north to Egypt. Review: A story that takes place in Africa! - I love that this book takes place in a small village in Uganda. as a teacher, i search for diverse children's books and this one is perfect. I love the way the kids join in with the rhyming. The book really kept their attention as they waited to see which animal the mzee (wise man) would encounter next! Can't wait to read Cathy Kreutter's other books. Raising global citizens is so important!!!! Review: International Must Have - I Know An Old Mzee.... is a delightful African spin on a familiar song/poem. The illustrations make everyone laugh; they highlight life in the Ugandan bush. Mzee (Kiswahili for older man and pronounced Mmm-zay) integrates poetry with vibrant, fanciful illustrations, laced together with computer graphics. The book is informative and inviting. It's a delight for adults who laugh out loud and children who squeal with the turning of each page. I Know An Old Mzee adds a sparkling dimension to international literature. I look forward to a series of re-told poems from Ms. Kreutter as steeped in the African tradition as red bush tea. I recommend this book to anyone old enough to read or be read to.
