About this title

Synopsis

Simu, a young white rhinoceros, gets lost while playing on the African plains, but is rescued by his mother and aunt.

Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 2-Considering the author of these two titles, the story lines are surprisingly dull and predictable. In Giraffe Trouble, young Cam wanders away from her mother and is just about to be attacked by a lioness when one of the other giraffes saves her. All ends happily, with Cam now being "both fearless and wise." Rhino Romp is basically the same story. Simu, a young rhinoceros, becomes lost. Suddenly all of the other animals of the savanna-zebras, elephants, gazelles-become alarmed and run away as an earth-shaking cloud of dust comes their way. Surprise, surprise, it is Simu's family and all ends well. Although the books are illustrated by different artists, the equally lifeless, full-colored paintings do nothing to enhance the texts. Since maps and descriptions of Disney's Animal Kingdom are also included, these titles will probably be featured in Disney's gift shops, but they don't belong on library shelves.
