Named an "Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children" by the National Science Teachers Association and Children'sBook Council. “This is an attractive, effective way to introduce ecology to young readers.” —The Horn Book Guide“A lovely, circular, cumulative tale evokes the landscape and animals of the Africa savanna. Dunphy’s wording is apleasure to read, and her . . . . structure is musical. Leonard’s artwork is equally engaging.” —Kirkus Reviews“A classic style of cumulative verse builds the text as it weaves the story of the food web of the African savanna. Thestrength and survival of the animals is illustrated by luminous paintings featuring the interdependence of each strandof the food web.” —Science and Children
