Review
Praise for Akimbo:“After a hiatus of thirteen years, McCall Smith has revived the intelligent, brave and very likeable Akimbo with a fourth book,
Akimbo and the Snakes. . . . [T]he easy and masterful storytelling voice of McCall Smith . . . [is] tuned to a children’s reading level.” –
The Globe and Mail
Product Description
Akimbo is excited to have his cousin, Kosi, visit him on the game reserve where he lives, and when a visiting scientist invites the boys to join her when she studies a pack of baboons, they can’t wait to assist her in the bush. The baboons they find are fun to observe, but when a black leopard threatens the pack–and the scientist–Akimbo and Kosi are reminded that danger is ever present in the African bush. Alexander McCall Smith takes young readers on a safari to his beloved Africa in this perfect chapter book, beautifully brought to life with illustrations by LeUyen Pham.
Including 3 pages of brilliant baboon facts!
