Count Your Way through Zimbabwe

(4) K-3 Count Your Way series. Illustrated by Janie Jaehyun Park. After a brief introduction to the country, the authors translate the numbers one through ten, including culturally relevant but randomly presented items: "Two favorite foods in Zimbabwe are sadza and nyama." Each spread includes a colorful if fairly amateurish painting as backdrop in addition to the Arabic numeral, its spelling and pronunciation in Shona, and an explanatory paragraph.
