BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL – ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

A beautifully illustrated exploration of a Nigerian night market, the reader is immediately immersed in the story with the nameless protagonist as we weave between different hawkers and vendor stalls. Each page is bursting with color and imagination as our young guide sees the different sights of the night market.The story captures the essence of curiosity and wonder for any young explorer.

A gorgeous picture book and a veritable feast for the senses. Every page has something new to see and explore. I think it would be a highly engaging read, and I especially love the African setting. I think it is unique and a beautiful addition to your picture book library.
