On safari, an unseen narrator hopes to see/A hippo or two/Perhaps even three? Clever rhyming verse details the spectacular sights along the way, such as lions, chimpanzees, and sleepy leopards, ''Relaxing in tree''. This expansive tour of the African Plains is brought to life through Beaton's signature fabric applique collages. Gray felt elephants splash themselves clean with streams of water accented by silver beads. Crocodiles with shiny sequined scales lounge on a textured shore. The vibrant colors capture the hot, arid habitat. Observant readers will spot the''hidden hippo'' on each spread sometimes peeking up from the water, or disguised as a rock, or partially obscured by a tree. Endnotes include descriptions of the featured animals as well as information on recent efforts to protect endangered species. Young adventurers and conservationists alike will pore over this visually stunning story. --School Library Journal
