Spot's Busy Day in the Bushveld (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781977254702)

The story is about an adorable cheetah cub with loads of personality and the animals she encounters in the African wilderness. The book follows on the heels of Tanja Nayak's first book about African wildlife, Stripe's Busy Night in the Bushveld, and in this second book we see the completion of what twenty-four hours on the savannah looks like. It also includes an informative factual section with full-colour photographs. The day begins with the sun rising behind the Lebombo Mountains and its first rays waking Spot and her family. Readers then follow Spot as she makes her way through the bushveld and meets her best friend, a honey badger, Stripe. Adventure waits as the pair stumble upon a dangerous boomslang. Do they rescue the day and chase the boomslang away and save Mrs. Weaverbird's chicks and Mrs. Squirrel's babies? You'll have to read Spot's story to find out. The first section of the book is Spot's story and the second looks at Africa's famous "Big Five" animals in detail: the legendary lion, impressive elephant, stealthy leopard, skittish rhinoceros, and mighty buffalo. Complete with gorgeous photographs and natural history, including fun facts about each this book is sure to impress the most discerning of young readers (and teachers and parents will appreciate it too). There also is a bonus feature about wildlife in peril, the vulnerable cheetah and African wild dog which has sadly landed on the Endangered Species Red List.
