Spin the globe. Stop it with one finger. Pack a bag.

When Zeisha lands in Kenya, every day brings a new animal - and every evening brings a new problem for Papa.

A hippo can hide all day with just her eyes and nose above the water. So can a small girl in a bathtub. An elephant eats one hundred and fifty kilos of grass a day. So Zeisha eats every green thing on the table. A giraffe reaches the highest leaves. So the pillows become a tower, and the cookie jar is in danger. A cheetah is fast. Papa's hat is gone.

Why do I keep showing her wild animals? sighs Papa, mopping, passing the lettuce, climbing out from under a pile of stools.

Then they meet the lions - who sleep twenty hours a day - and Papa finally gets his quiet evening. Maybe wild animals aren't so bad after all.

A warm, funny read-aloud about a child who doesn't just see the world - she becomes it. Real safari facts are tucked into every page, so little listeners come away knowing something new about hippos, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs and lions, and asking where next?

Perfect for:

  • Children ages 3-8 who love animals, big and loud
  • Bedtime reading with a punchline on every other page
  • Families planning a trip - or dreaming about one
  • Parents who have ever said what are you doing? and regretted asking
Written by Parvesh Garg and illustrated by Zeisha Parwa.
