Room for Everyone
Room for Everyone | Naaz Khan
3 posts | 2 read
A young boy on a crowded bus discovers that, after some wiggles and giggles, theres room for everyone in this lighthearted rhyming picture book set in Zanzibar. The dala dala rumbles and roars as Musa and Dada drive off to the shorebut the bus stops for multiple detours: Do you need a ride? Its hotter than peppers out there in the sun! Come in, theres room for everyone! One stop becomes two stops which soon becomes ten, and Musa wonders when it will end: How can any more people get in? Were already smushed like sardines in a tin! But there's always room for one more, if you make the room, which is the heartwarming take-away from this bouncy, joyous tale in rhyme.

I've been reading this #WCCPBA nominee to my students this week with a challenge: they think they are too old for counting books. This story takes place in Zanzibar, could they write a counting cook that takes place in WA state? It's about going to the beach. We live 10 minutes from a beach. The difference? It's 50°F/10°C here. #underthedustcover

Fun rhyming/counting book based in Zanzibar, Tanzania. I love the idea of loading up a bus with too much on the way to the beach. The author includes authentic vocabulary and invented words to enhance the rhymes. Glossary and paragraph at the back to support the text.

On the way to Nungwi Beach in #Tanzania the daladala picks up everyone and everything. A cute, diverse counting book. 😍 And it's already mine. #BBRC letter R @LibrarianRyan #ReadingAfrica2022 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle
