This book describes all the animals in a safari jungle. The author spends a page on each animal. For example in talking about an elephant the author explains, "Big, yet moves with grace. Powerful, yet delicate as lace. As to color, plain and ordinary gray. But once we start to look, we cannot look away. When peaceful, silent; when angry, loud. Who would have guessed the Elephant is so much like a cloud." In another example the author explains a panda, "You're a bamboo bandit; You're a piebald dream. You're a bear in silk pajamas; you're cookies and cream. You're the wizard of the mountains; you're pres-ti-di-gi-ta-tion! You're nature's best example of bear imagination." This book does a good job in explaining animals of a safari jungle in a poetic way.
This book is a good book to read to students, and to introduce to them animals of a safari jungle.
