This book does not merely describe many African animals (*), it also allows to discover the different aspects of life in the savannah. The theme of the seasons is discussed there (rainy season when many babies are born and dry season where you have to go far to find food and water). Without being cruel, it also allows children to better understand the "law of the strongest" (water points, for example, elephants have priority) and the food chain (a cheetah catches a gazelle to eat but the actually "fly" by a clan of hyenas. The vultures, meanwhile, wait to eat the leftovers).
My daughter is almost 4 years old loves this book and her sister almost 2 years starts to show interest.
