Named an "Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children" by the
National Science Teachers Association and Children's Book

"This is an attractive, effective way to introduce ecology to young
readers." -- The Horn Book Guide
"A lovely, circular, cumulative tale evokes the landscape and
animals of the Africa savanna. Dunphy's wording is a pleasure to
read, and her . . . . structure is musical. Leonard's artwork is
equally engaging." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A classic style of cumulative verse builds the text as it weaves
the story of the food web of the African savanna. The strength and
survival of the animals is illustrated by luminous paintings
featuring the interdependence of each strand of the food web." --
