»Malika et Karim« is a series of picture books that offer an entertaining
introduction to the country and people of Morocco. In this volume, the two
protagonists Malika and Karim reach the city of Marrakesh and are immediately
fascinated by the hustle and bustle there. When a soothsayer tells Malika she
will discover a precious object inside something white, the girl automatically
assumes it to be the treasure of Almohades that is said to be hidden on the
snow-covered mountains close by the city. The treasure hunt begins and
everybody who populates the famous city square, men and animals alike, join
the children. The lively pictures perfectly illustrate the diversity of the »red
city« and its region and will surely arouse people’s curiosity. (5+)
