We are off on a trip to the Serengeti Plain of Africa!

Irene Latham’s 15 poems of the African savanna accompanied by their 15 paragraphs of background information make this book a treasure for poets, adventurers, biologists, and  geographers with each turn of the page.

Anna Wadham’s colorful muted backgrounds make the often-time brown hues’ of the animals pop off of the pages.

Latham’s poems, most often written in couplets,  vividly describe the actions and behaviors of the animals. The poems come one to a page with its background piece on the opposite page just before the page turn. Topics include: the watering hole, impalas, a variety of snakes, meerkats, oxpeckers, giraffe, zebras, dung beetles, bush willow, wildebeest, rhino, lioness, nightjar, and a couple more.
