- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lovely little book about the appealing Anna Hibiscus who lives with her Canadian Mum, and her African Dad, Siblings, Cousins Aunties, Uncles, Grandparents, all together in a big house. Four little stories tell about the differences between Anna's family and her Mum's family, her family and the poor families that live all around her, the neat things about a large family and what happens when people move away from the homes they are used to
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Anna Hibiscus lives in "Amazing Africa" but geography gets no more specific than that. Since the author is Nigerian-born, it's probably safe to assume that's what the author has in mind. The first book in a series originally published in England, this is a warm, appealing family story with a charming protagonist.
