Product Description
Review
"This Nigerian photographer has had a string of sure-fire titles, ever since her innovative A is for Africa." The Bookseller"
Product Description
Why won't Adaora eat her slice of paw-paw? She says she doesn't want to spoil the star shape in the middle - so her cousin Ugo offers to find her a triangle instead. As they walk along they see all kinds of shapes, from Uncle Eze wearing his rectangular agbada to musicians playing circle-topped elephant drums, from plants with heart-shaped leaves to a crescent-shaped plantain. And just when Adaora is too tired to look any more, they find a triangle - and a treat from Aunt Felicia! Ifeoma Onyefulu introduces children to shapes, African style, with warm words and photographs offering a colourful glimpse into Nigerian village life.

Beautiful Pictures and Ideas!, 5 April 2001
By Tango - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Triangle for Adaora (Hardcover)
There are many children's books inroducing the child to varous shapes: Circle, Triangle, Square, etc. This book does the same thing but extends the imagination to look for shapes in things around us. For example, if you cut a paw-paw into half you will see a "star" shape; a plaintain is a "crescent" shape; some leaves are "heart" shape. The photograhs in the book are rich and colorful and give you an accurate depiction of life in a Nigerian village and the things that happen in daily life as well as the things you will find around you.

Perfect, 26 Sep 2006
By Toy Loving Momma - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Triangle for Adaora (Paperback)
My son (5) and I just found this gem last week. He loves the vivid pictures and shape placement. He also loves saying the words of the many things Adaora and her cousing encounter on their search. What a fantastic way to learn about a different culture while reinforcing basic knowledge of shapes. I would recommend to all.

triangle for adaora gets all stars!, 19 Feb 2006
By ngobabe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Triangle for Adaora (Paperback)
I had to buy this book despite knowing anything about it because it bore my daughter's name! I am so pleased - it is a lovely book of pictures from everyday Nigerian life that masterfully incorporates the different shapes encountered in Nigerian settings. I am grateful to this author who also wrote another wonderful book bearing my other child's name, "Emeka's Gift."
