Short, rhyming text and up-close photographs take readers on a safari that introduces the wild animals that inhabit the Savannah.

Children color a hat, a sled, and five other cold weather items that "add up" to winter — plus there''s a succession of images for spring, summer, and fall. Designed for ages 2–5.

Kids are off to the races by coloring seven separate images — from a hood to tires — that complete a picture of a car. Additional add ups include a bicycle, a train, and an airplane.

Kids begin by coloring a monkey and six other images that "add up" to a zoo. Other simple, seven-part illustrations of places to go include a beach, a circus, and an amusement park.

Safari day dawns on the savanna. The African light gives the sky colors seen nowhere else on Earth. Soon, an amazing array of wild animals are yawning, screeching, and growling to life. Meet the elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and the laughing hyenas of the wilderness and find out who’s friends with whom and why!
