(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dereck Joubert. Two National Geographic "Explorers-in-Residence" provide information about various African animals, one for each letter of the alphabet. The volume's standouts are the photographs; the text is less successful, with its search-and-find game element leading to awkward alliteration: "Two dung beetles roll dirty dung into a decorative ball..." Still, it's a worthy addition to collections. Reading list, websites. Glos.
