This book's main message is, 'play is not frivolous; it is learning.' Children are natural players, right from the beginning. Babies learn words and concepts as they engage with things in their environment (tennis ball, yellow), spatial math concepts when they play with blocks (or pull the books off a bookshelf), getting motor skills as they climb and crawl and run. So join the bilingual learning adventure with this simple and fun bilingual Swahili book. From 'takataka' (rubbish), haraka haraka (haste), bata (duck) to 'hakuna matata' (no problems) to find The Fat Chicken, it makes Swahili words fun with rhyme for little ones and encourages children to go out and play.

Sometimes old memories come fl ooding back into one’s mind with nostalgic eff ect. One day my brain felt like a giant elephant as I hummed old songs and rhymes that dated as far back as my days in nursery school. My native country Tanzania was preoccupying me. I felt the urge to share these wonderful childhood memories. It was time to show my gratitude to all my teachers who made my school days a joy to remember and also to share the gift of memory with all the children in this universe. Th is book consists of nursery rhymes, songs and 20 Swahili folk tales translated into English. Th e stories were written and submitted by school children from Manundu Primary School in my hometown Korogwe. In Tanzania, oral lore is a common tradition of transmitting stories from one generation to another. I did not wish to see this knowledge get lost but get preserved in a form of written book. Th e nursery rhymes, songs and animal facts were contributed by me. Th ese were inspired by memories from my school time experiences and also a wish to instill children with an appreciation for the wild animals, especially those belonging to the List of Th reatened Animals. For every child who wishes to explore their wild and fun side, just fl ick through the pages of this book and get acquainted with the Swahili folklore and Tanzanian wildlife. Tanzania warmly welcomes you. “Karibu sana!”
