Review
"Elementary students will embark on many exciting safaris with this series. Its six volumes contain solid, well-organized, introductory information about the animals' bodies, special features, social lives, feeding methods, mating rituals, child-raising practices, and interaction with humans. Tom and Pat Leeson's outstanding photographs supply young adventurers with up-close glimpses of these beautiful creatures. The pictures clarify the text and, combined with it, are engaging sources of learning...This series would provide great opportunities for recreational reading or project-based research and would make a solid addition to classroom or school libraries. Glossary. Recommended."

"These are outstanding resource books for elementary school aged children. The subject matter and format of the book quickly captures the interest of the child. Each book spotlights the animal under consideration and weaves a spellbinding real story. An annotated bibliography and web sites are current and foster future exploration.
The Wild Africa series is a valuable resource for budding young scientists. It is a must for a well-equipped elementary school library that values good no fiction material."
