Beautiful and Engaging

Beautiful drawings of Africian animals.A wonderful and sweet story of animals in Africia. Children of all ages will love this book.

Engaging, sweetly illustrated, and educational

Rhino and his East African animal pals, huggably drawn, are playing hide and seek. On one page, animals are hiding, camoflauged in their native habitat; on the next page, they jump out and run away from the rhino. The book follows this pattern through desert, plains, swamp, etc. Older kids can learn about camoflauge, the East African environment, and the names of 60+ different species (there's a guide on the endpapers). But the book is also appropriate for preschoolers, as it's very colorful and light on text. My two-year-old loves hunting for the hidden animals on every page.

Fun, educational, and sweetly illustrated

Rhino is playing hide and seek with his huggably-drawn East African animal pals. One page shows animals camoflauged in a specific habitat; the next shows the animals bounding away. The book continues like this through desert, swamp, plains, etc. My two-year-old has a great time hunting for the hidden animals. This book is very light on text and suitable for preschoolers, but also seems appropriate for older children. The endpapers contain an illustrated guide to the many species depicted throughout the book, so kids can learn the difference between a vulturine fish eagle and a lesser swamp warbler!
