Product Description

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 baboon pack 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 vicarious safari to his beloved

Africa in this perfect first chapter book, beautifully brought to life with

illustrations by LeUyen Pham.
