Young explorers can take the adventure of a lifetime with The Field Guide to Safari Animals. Inside this book, kids will discover the 1924 journal of fictional naturalist Rebecca Mayhew. Through her journal entries, learn all about her exciting adventure across exotic Africa--from tracking lions in Nairobi to marveling at the birth of a baby giraffe in Botswana. Each page is filled with stunning photographs, maps, illustrations, and fascinating facts about Africa's most majestic animals. At the end of this incredible journey, kids can recreate animal scenes by setting up a cool diorama and 8 different animal models. Let's go on safari! Included are 59 pieces to assemble, eight safari animals and a removable diorama. The Field Guide series offers an exceptional experience to young pioneers who want to explore exotic places. Every two-page spread comes with a different animal to assemble. As readers learn interesting facts about each animal, they can construct furry and feathery friends to play with. Each book provides a beautifully illustrated diorama to use as a realistic backdrop for play. Ages 8 and up

Excellent fun for my animal lover
Jan 19 2009
By Casandra Perry
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
With the majestic elephant on the cover, my son was hooked - the African elephant is his absolute favorite animal in the world. The book itself is very cool - each section is about 4 or 5 pages long and focuses on one specific animal. The "date sighted" is provided and the "field notes" give you the impression you are reading an heirloom book from someone's attic about their grandfather or great-grandfather's safari. Each section has an animal puzzle to put together. These puzzles can be taken apart again. After the entire book is completed, there is a removable diorama backdrop. My 5 year old son told me it was not a diorama, it was a habitat. My mistake, obviously!
We put the animals together and set up the background. We played for an afternoon, and then put the animals back in the book. There is no envelope for the backdrop, but that is literally the only complaint I have about this wonderful set. At 5, my son is too young to have read and put the animals together on his own, but the pieces were sturdy enough for us to play without becoming damaged. This set would be great to set up in his room (out of reach to avoid being lost) - something that he will probably get for his birthday (along with the other two books in this "series").
I highly recommend this book set for any safari-animal lovers out there. It is very well put together and quite entertaining.
Cheers!

Amazing animals and stories

My 7 year old granddaughter had no trouble putting these together all by herself and loved to read the stories about the Rain Forest and Safari - the 2 books I purchased for her. Her second grade class has been studying these areas and these books enhanced her educational experience.
