"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."
