    Jaha and Jamil Went Down the Hill is a book of verse as Mother Goose might have written it about Africa.
    The Charlesbridge Publishing African adaptation includes rhymes that are familiar to young students. The verse of original lyrics teaches about the diverse aspects of African life, both modern and traditional.
    Poems that young readers might recognize are Yankee Doodle, Little Tommy Tucker, Pussycat, Pussycat, Diddle Diddle Dumpling, Little Boy Blue, and more.
