"There once was a king who liked to tell lies. / He said it was day beneath the night skies." The rise and fall of a prevaricating warthog king is illustrated with undistinguished savanna-set, animal-filled art. The story's rhymes are Seussian not in cleverness but in sentiment: they favorably recall the good doctor's championing of the power of the collective voice.

Travels with Gannon & Wyatt series.
This new series emphasizes global citizenship, multiculturalism, and wildlife conservation. Twin brothers encounter wounded lions, the prey of poachers (Botswana); in an unforgiving Canadian wilderness, they must embark on a search-and-rescue mission for missing members of their expedition (Rainforest). Based on real boys' experiences, the fictionalized journal entries, illustrated with black-and-white photos, are convincing, but the voices aren't always distinguishable. Review covers these Gannon & Wyatt titles: Botswana and Great Bear Rainforest.
