Description
The Cat takes Sally and Nick to Africa, where they meet some really big cats, and all sorts of other animals, too, including elephants, zebra, giraffe, hippos, warthogs, buffalo, baboons, side-striped jackals, spotted hyena, galagos, pythons, vipers, and six kinds of antelope! Young readers will learn how animals are either predators or prey, that elephants tend to favor one tusk over the other, how to tell the difference between a white and black rhino (both of which are grey), that lion cubs are born covered with spots that soon disappear.

This book is all about African wildlife as the Cat in the Hat takes readers on a safari. I liked this book for two reasons. The first reason was the writing. Surprisingly it was very factual although it has that silly twist that all Dr. Seuss books incorporate. On each page there was loads of

information on all different kinda of African animals with fun rhyming text. The book even included a glossary in the back to further your information. The second thing I liked about the book was the illustrations. They were full of the silly characters that show up in all of the Dr. Seuss books and are familiar to children. Along with the illustrations there were also real photographs of animals to give children more information. The "big idea" of the book was just to inform children of African wildlife. Show Less
