In a world where so many magnificent species of animal are being slowly wiped out, through loss of habitat or overhunting by humans etc, it is of vital importance that we teach our children the values of conservation, reverence, appreciation and respect of all earths creatures. This book is fantastic as it is packed with information on these five amazing African animals, that the author herself has had the good fortune to see up close in their natural habitat.The interactive quizzes after each chapter are excellent for exercising a child's mind, and helping them to retain the information they have learned. A child's mind soaks up information like a sponge, and it is important for them to learn as much as possible in their early years. Books such as these not only nurture their development in terms of their ability to learn and retain information - they also have the equally important benefit of teaching them respect for wildlife. This will help them grow into well-rounded, compassionate adults with an interest in the conservation of endangered species, a thirst for knowledge and a fascination for the natural world. Highly recommended!!
