Title: Incorrect swahili spelling and words aaargggh
Product review: This book was a gift to our 5 year old bilingual girl by a Swedish friend. Each time our daughter asks me to read this book, I'm very disappointed by the very incorrect spelling and use of Swahili words. Some words have a direct translation as (maziwa lala - sleeping milk!! what on earth is sleeping milk????? It should be cultured milk/sour milk. Una taka chepati? This spelling is completely wrong - Una taka (unataka is one word! not two) and Chepati=chapati.It is not a pancake!Almost all the swahili words in this book are spelt wrong. Why didn't she do some research or even better, get a Swahili speaker to proof read this book? It is so annoying to read, but I have to do it for my daughter when she asks for it. I wouldn't buy it.:-(
