Somewhere in Africa by Ingrid Mennen and Niki Daly

This was a great book to teach young children and even older readers, such as myself, about Africa. The book goes through all the generalizations of what Africa is like. The illistrations and text show the "Safari" aspect of Africa, but the young boy as a narrator shows that he has never even seen this part of Africa and he lives there. He shows that he lives in a developed city where there are many similarities with other developed countries around the world.
I liked the illistrations especially on the dust jacket of the book. It is a picture of the city where the boy lives.
One part of the story I didn't like was the text. There was never anything unique with the text which made it a little boring by the end of the book. The text was all the same font, and black in color throughout.
