Safari, So Good! All About African Wildlife (The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library)

Affordable, good book. Great for preschoolers...fun rhymes and educational. Makes a nice gift when paired with a safari-themed jigsaw puzzle, like the Melissa and Doug ones. Sound purchase.

This book is a hit at our house. At times the rhyme is forced and the cadence of the sentences trips up a bit, BUT after reading an average of 5 times a day for the last two weeks, it is still one of my son's favorites (and I've figured out where to put emphasis to get the rhymes and rhythm to work...well, at least to work better). He loves learning about the different animals, and the information goes beyond surface level. Sometimes the vocabulary is a bit advanced and not always defined, but I like that it stretches him a bit. Learning to ask what words mean is a good skill to have, and I have found that people are very impressed when a three-year-old accurately uses words like tawny and herbivore. There is quite a bit of text per page, which is great because it gives more info about each animal but could be challenging for kids who are not used to longer sections of text. Since each page or so presents a new type of animal, you don't have to read the whole book at one sitting, which it could be helpful for working up to reading more words per page. Although I tend to prefer nonfiction books that have photographs, these illustrations are playful and bright, which helps the book feel more like a "fun," fiction book than an educational one. All in all, I love that my kiddo is excited about learning--both information about animals and vocabulary so this book comes highly recommended from our family.

Perfect book for kids wanting to learn more about African animals.

This was such a fun book for my kid to read. He had a smile on his face the entire way through the book. And then after he was done he was cracking up laughing. And then.... he read this book again for more times in a row. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Seuss books. They can keep the kids attention, they are super fun.

Very cute book where you learn about lots of animals you might actually see on an African safari, from small animals, to antelope, lions, and even elephants! My 3 year old absolutely loved this book and asked a lot of questions. I was happy they talked about predators and prey and did not leave that knowledge (all be it a bot gory) out. Very good book to learn about African wildlife.

My great grands sons love the book and also the animals and truck, I am not around them to see if they enjoy them now.

Great service and book arrived in good condition.

The book is terrific. The book follows our recent safari perfectly so it is a fun way to share our trip with our grandchildren. It is very informative for both the young and old.

All the fun of Dr Seuss plus additional knowledge for those curious question askers.

A wonderful book and so informative in a lovely way which caught the attention of all my children age 2, 5 & 11.

As a kid growing up with cat in hat, I wanted to pass this on to my kids. Every night I read these books to them. Great to be a dad and keep english strong in my family

All good, except wish the book had a few more pages! It finishes too fast!

Makes great bed time reading for a young child.
