One of the things that I enjoy so much about these National Geographic Kids Chapter books, besides the gorgeous photographs, is how genuine they are. This one in particular was fun to read because the person telling the story wasn't a trained scientist but a dedicated amateur who has spent a lot of time around cameras and animals and learned a lot along the way. The stories Diaw shares about his developing interest and concern about wild animals and the adventures he has had photographing them makes for a compelling and quick read. The design of these books also makes them eye-catching and appealing for young readers. If you have an animal lover at your house, this is a great series for them to read.
This is a really neat book. It is informative and interesting even for us older kids. Diaw is a super player and a super writer/photographer. By all means get this one and enjoy!!!
I am both an animal lover and avid Spurs fan. Boris Diaw has earned five stars in both venues.
Boris is a heck of a photographer and an interesting person. My grandkids love this book!
Great book for our great grandson. We enjoyed the book and photos as much as he did.
I thought it was great and very informative. Kids could learn much in a fun way.
