An African Wildlife Adventure in Poems and Paintings
Can You Spot the Leopard? is author/artist Karen B. Winnick's newest
picture book, an adventuresome African safari presented through poems
and full-color paintings. Readers begin at sunrise, climbing into a jeep
for a bumpy ride to view the wondrous animals as they would on a real
safari. All the poems are based on real observations of what animals do
in the wild, related in an accessible way. There's even a sighting,
finally, of the elusive leopard, before returning to safari camp under a
starry night. At the back of the book, further information is related
about each animal. A fun, informational, educational adventure to read
and reread.
Ms. Winnick is an animal enthusiast, president of the Los Angeles Zoo
Commission, and author of more than a dozen picture books, including
Gemina: The Crooked-Neck Giraffe, How Lucky Got His Shoe, and Mr.
Lincoln's Whiskers.
