Introduction
Essay: Safari
Cheetah | Lion | Gorilla | Rhinoceros | Zebra | Elephant | Gazelle | Giraffe

A book you won't believe until you see it with your own eyes!
A book that parents will become engrossed in as they show it to their children!

The cheetah, the king of short distances, galloping across the grasslands.
A lion charging while crouching.
A familiar-looking gorilla chewing on a leaf with its mouth open.
A rhinoceros walking alone, its beautiful horns in front of it.
The main character, a zebra with lovely eyes and wonderful stripes.
An African elephant flapping its ears in the heat.
A gazelle running, escaping predators with graceful movements.
A giraffe leisurely roaming the vast savannah in search of food.

Eight wild animals come to life right before your eyes!


A safari of romance and adventure!

An African safari trip is something everyone dreams of at least once in their lifetime.
The book begins with the author's travelogue of his safari experience in Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve.


Carol Kaufman not only vividly portrays a natural epic of romance, excitement, fear, and wonder, but also tells the fascinating history of safari, which began with the explorations of 19th-century British colonists, through anecdotes.
It also includes the stories of David Livingstone, who was attacked by a lion; U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, who led several massive expeditions to Africa; and Dace Finch Hatton, the "Great Hunter," who was reincarnated as Robert Redford in "Out of Africa."
It also discusses the implications of today's safari industry, its impact on endangered animals, and the problem of poaching.


Carol Kaufman's gentle yet resonant account of her experiences will fill readers with a thrill of emotion, and the portentous images of the eight animals that follow will make you feel as if you are with them in the Masai Mara at this very moment.
Now, the fascinating descriptions of these animals are not just words, but come to life.



Fantastic image! Concise yet useful information!
A must-read not only for children who love animals, but also for all humans who must coexist with animals in the community called Earth!

The greatest appeal of this book is probably its images, which are like scenes from a movie.
But through the safari essays at the beginning, as well as brief essays about the eight animals, we will come to recognize them not as “spectacles” we have seen in documentaries or zoos, but as companions with whom we must live.
This book also contains useful information to understand their ecology in more detail, such as body length, top speed, habitat, distribution area, population, diet, and lifespan.


A book that everyone, from one-year-olds to grandparents in their eighties, will enjoy!
A book that stands out not only for your collection but also as a gift!
We invite you on a safari filled with romance, adventure, and wonder!

Reader Reviews

"The only downside to this book is that the images are so compelling that you might find yourself immersed in them and not reading the text." - Reader 1

"It is the reader who chooses the book, but sometimes the book chooses the reader.
If you are chosen by [Porticular Book], it may be difficult to break away.
It's a feeling that can't be described in any sentence." - Reader 2

"Why isn't this book on any of the recommended reading lists for toddlers and children? The so-called [recommended reading lists] I've seen for my one-year-old daughter are an insult to her intelligence.
I came across this book by chance in the Christmas gift section of a bookstore, and my child loves it more than any other gift.
This book sets a new standard for children's books.
Of course I like it too." - Reader 3
