This is one of the best written, most comprehensive and accurate children's books about Africa that I have found. It talks about the Masai Mara of Kenya and Tanzania, home to more large mammals than any other place on Earth. It discusses the challenge to balance the needs of wildlife with the demands of civilization. The illustrations are well drawn and clever. This book holds the interest of young children In conjunction with "Cooking the East African Way", "Folk tales & fables of the Middle East and Africa" & Florence Temko's "Traditional Crafts of Africa" it would make a great social studies unit. While I think this is a wonderful addition to a classroom or daycare I have to wonder how much use a family would get from this book.If you want to really know if this book is for you, go to your local library. If they don't have a copy there is always the option of the Inter-Library Loan procedure (books usually take about 3 weeks to arrive). I almost always preview books from the library before purchasing ... it has saved a lot of disappointment
