(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Leonard. In an apt coupling of style and subject, this book shows through cumulative verse how the animals and plants of the African savanna are interconnected and depend on one another. The acrylic illustrations are rich with detail and gold-toned radiance. An endnote provides some additional information about conservation. This is an attractive, effective way to introduce ecology to young readers.
