• Handa's Surprise 10 January, 2004
It is a wonderful book that surprises every young reader. The beautiful illustrations made my class of 2-year-olds instant storytellers. The story does not only enhance counting numbers for those beginning to count, it also promotes awareness of tropical fruits found in Kenya. Not forgetting the 7 skillfully illustrated animals each child will not only identify but appreciate.

• The Kids Enjoyed It And So Did I 19 December, 2007
This book is cute, sweet, funny, and has gorgeous pictures. Some of the books I have to teach are so stupid I feel like I'm harming young minds, but Handa's Surprise is glorious. It offers great segues into lessons or discussions about fruits, animals and geography too (it takes place in Kenya.)
