“This is an interesting book. It teaches the names of each animal you could see on a safari. It also counts them as you go to help learn numbers.”

“This unique counting book introduces young readers to African safari animals, plants, and landscape in Tanzania. As a group of friends wanders the grasslands counting animals, the text also teaches readers how to count to ten in Swahili. As a bonus, facts about the featured animals, a pronunciation guide, and information about Tanzania and the Maasai people is included at the end.”
