(4) K-3 Tales of the World series. Illustrated by Peter Sylvada. Yatandou tells how the lives of women in her Malian village change when a machine takes over the laborious, often painful job of beating millet into meal. There's a gentle message about the value of education and technology, but the voice isn't always convincingly an eight-year-old girl's. The warm impressionistic paintings are rich with the colors of the West African setting.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
