I received an ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

I enjoyed the story for this one, but the illustrations blew me away. They are so creative and eye-catching! It took us forever to turn the page, because we kept wanting to talk about everything we saw.

For example: A stick (real not drawn) is placed on the page, and then cut-outs of elephants can be seen in the background. The elephants are walking on watercolor grass with little pieces of live grass woven in.

Dirt is the background for one page with a paper snake crawling out of the frame, twine was used for vines... it was really a wonderful experience! Stunning, unique, and three-dimensional.

Daniel Adlerman’s story is an excellent informational story about the environment, habitat, and animals of Africa. The language in the story is very descriptive and rhythmic. Each page ends with a pair of rhyming words describing the land and the animals of Africa. The Illustrations are very colorful and quite realistic paintings of the different habitats of the individual animals and then the animals themselves. Preschoolers will love this story for the information, pictures, and language.
