Extinction is forever and just one peek inside the pages of this beautifull book will open up a whole world of African dreams
as it tells the simple story of how one child wants to be assured that all the wonderful creatures now inhabiting the African wild will still be there when she grows up. This illustrated book educates
children on how some of the planet’s most beloved animals might soon become extinct. From the magnificent elephant and brave lion, to the gentle gorilla and wily
crocodile, all could lose out on their struggle to survive because of man’s greed and ignorance. Children need to be especially alert not only to the story happening inside the little reader’s handheld book, but also to the windows, which tease the observant child into guessing what creature lurks outside! African Dream is a reminder to all adults and young people that through education, we can still save earth’s most valuable treasure; its wildlife! This relevant book deals with a problem plaguing our earth--we are slowly destroying our wildlife. Some of the most familiar faces of Africa, the lion, elephant, crocodile, impala, python, and wild dog, just to name a few, become extinct at the end of this book. This educational book seeks to alert children to the dangers these animals face and hopefully encourage the child to help stop the destruction of habitats. Beautifully illustrated by South African artist, Sarita Immelman, this is a must read for any classroom, child, or parent who wants to help save the earth and its animal inhabitants.
