The last of the animal family series for me. As always, adorable

Kiddo gave this 3.5 stars. Interesting, very fact and observation-based writing style is quite different from most kid books. Great visuals.

A charming collection of science books that are actually geared toward younger audiences so they can learn about some of Africa's more famous creatures when they are younger. Clear and easy to read Jane Goodall shares with us her talent for educating the world without drowning you in too much information while at the same time sharing breathtaking pictures that put you right in their world.

This is a beautiful book that puts you right into the zebra herd of Zoro and directs you in the life of a zebra. You get to learn more about the zebras while at the same time staying focused on the youngest of the bunch.

This is truly one book out of the series where the pictures seem to match the writing a bit more evenly. And this is also one of the greatest books in the series with some awesome photographs throughout it..... Just love it for the photos!

These are really nicely-presented little books, each following a different African animal. The animal’s habits, behavior, and role in nature all discussed, along with color photos. By focusing on a single baby animal and his relation to the world around him, Goodall has presented an engaging and sympathetic series. Children who love animals (and how many don’t?) will enjoy these books.
