Description
“Some Matatus are Mad” is a children’s poem by Muthoni Muchemi, published by Storymoja Publishers. It is intended for young readers in lower primary grades, with some sources suggesting it is for Grade 3 or Grade 4. The book is designed to help children memorize numbers and understand that differences in character can lead to different outcomes. The poem uses the analogy of matatus (Kenyan public transport vehicles) to illustrate this concept. It shows that, just like people, matatus have distinct characters that result in varied consequences. The book is a fun and engaging way for children to develop literacy skills while learning about social differences.
