As part of a series of books which aim to introduce children to cultural traditions in different parts of the world, this book looks at Africa. Discover the African stringed instrument that may have inspired the banjo; find out about the special naming ceremony that takes place in Nigeria; find out why drinking cow's blood is an important part of Masai tradition; and read the story of the box, and discover the real riches and wonders of the world. Interest boxes pull out recipes, poems, anecdotes that bring the region's culture to life and each book in this series ends with a story from the region under examination.
