Reviews

“These books are well writ­ten and con­tain many out­stand­ing pho­tographs. They do an excel­lent job of describ­ing the [African] ani­mals, espe­cial­ly in point­ing out any unique char­ac­ter­is­tics. Pub­lic schools and libraries would do well to own these books. They are sure to excite read­ers, young and old, to vis­it a zoo, to learn more about the ani­mals, and to think about ways to pro­tect the dwin­dling pop­u­la­tions of rare and endan­gered species.” (Sci­ence Books & Films)

Behind the Book

“I was inspired to write this book after spend­ing three weeks on safari in East Africa. I was for­tu­nate enough to see sev­er­al species of ante­lope, includ­ing gazelles, impalas, gerenuks, and dik-diks.”
