This is an excellent first information book: full of facts that will intrigue the very young and spark their imagination. Each page features a different wild animal, native to the savannah, as a sturdy pop-up that will surprise and delight with each reading. We meet and learn about lions, giraffes, hippos, meerkats and elephants as well as about their shared habitat. The animals are captured in lines of rhyming text, with extra lines providing additional factual information. The illustrations are bold and eye-catching, and it all adds up to an excellent package.
The savannah sun sets in the sky - Meerkats play, giraffes stroll by... Cross the hot savannah and discover all of its secrets with this new pop-up book, featuring stunning artwork from Clover Robin.
