Look! An elephant eats. Look! Giraffes drink. Look! A warthog digs. A gorilla hides, wild dogs listen, zebras run, monkeys sit, hippos splash, and a rhino naps.

At the end of the story, a boy reads, plays, and dreams, surrounded by toy animals that represent each of the real ones.

About the Author
Ted Lewin grew up in Buffalo, New York, and now lives in New York City. He is an avid traveler, and many of his books are inspired by trips to places such as the Amazon River, the Sahara Desert, Botswana, Egypt, Lapland, and India. He was awarded a Caldecott Honor for his illustrations in Peppe the Lamplighter by Elise Bartone.
From Booklist
In this latest entry in the I Like to Read series, those just beginning to practice literacy skills are entreated to “look!” at full-page spreads of the activities of some African animals, such as an elephant eating, wild dogs listening, and rhinos napping. After nine such scenes, it’s a young boy’s turn to play, read, and dream, surrounded by toy versions of each of the creatures mentioned. The figures in the pencil-and-watercolor art are expertly rendered, and each has a light-drenched aura giving the effect of the savanna sun beating down on the animals (although they also feel somewhat washed-out, like an overexposed photo). In addition to this being an introductory zoology lesson (how do giraffes drink water?), many of the animal behaviors—drinking, sitting, napping—parallel a child’s own actions. The sentences of one to three words per spread in a large, clear font and the straightforward text-to-action correlation make for solid and attractive support for very beginning readers in a picture-book format. Preschool-Grade 1. --Andrew Medlar
