Safari Journal: The Adventures in Africa of Carey Monroe

(4) 4-6 A twelve-year-old kid stuck on safari with his "wacky" aunt quickly figures out that it's cool to be in Kenya. Detailed observations of African animals precede richly described adventures with the Masai and a dramatic nighttime capture of poachers. To make the journal seem authentic, Talbott uses slightly irritating kidspeak and scratchy handwriting interspersed with color photos and illustrations.
