PreS-Gr 1—The short, simple, repetitive sentences and storyline are supported and illustrated by colorful and clear photographs of the animals (elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, hippos) seen on a safari in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dion Graham interprets the role of safari guide perfectly; his rich, clear, melodic narration combined with background animal vocalizations and related sounds add a feeling of location. The high-quality production, theme, and use of repeated pattern sounds will make this audiobook useful for teachers of pre-readers and popular with students who will quickly memorize and recite text like "I see elephants spray just for me. I see elephants spray on safari." Teachers could follow up with related educational activities such as naming other animals one might encounter while on safari in Tanzania, taking a Google Earth virtual trip to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and introducing a few additional simple words in Swahili. VERDICT Recommended for classroom and elementary libraries.—Rebecca James, Nashville, TN
