From Aardvark to Zuma: The South African Alphabet

by Alex Latimer

Beginning with Aardvark and ending with Zuma—with all sorts of animals, brands, characters, places and plants in between. This book captures and alphabetizes the essence of South Africa. A remarkable achievement for such a small book, don’t you think?

[AJ Payne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Got this book from a friend, and it's a different version (there is no Zuma in the z slot in the version recently purchased). But anyway, it's a fun book and makes me nostalgic for South Africa as I read it to my daughter to teach her the letters.
