Mama Elizabeti

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christy Hale. This sequel to Elizabeti's Doll finds Elizabeti charged with the care of her younger brother. Right away she discovers the difference between caring for her cherished--and inert--rock doll and caring for a squirming toddler. The book shares with its predecessor a resolutely childlike point of view and a matter-of-fact but authentic presentation of another culture (that of rural Tanzania).
