Animals of the Savanna by Oliva Cosneau – GIFT

 Animals of the Savanna (My Nature Sticker Activity Book) by Oliva Cosneau. ACTIVITY BOOK. Princeton Architectural Press, 2019. $8.  9781616897888

BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3), GIFT – ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

This is an activity book which takes a young reader through the Savanna habitat. Its full of facts about plants and animals. Each page has a coloring activity and a sticker activity (it comes with quite a few stickers). An example would be: Impalas are champion jumpers. There is a fact box and the tasks to put horn stickers on the Impala and color the cheetah and the bush. The illustrations are quite large and simple.

This activity book would not work for a library but it would be a fun activity if a teacher could afford a copy for every student in their classroom. It would also make a fun gift for a child who loves nature and can sit still for some busy work (like on a plane).  I learned a lot from reading the fact boxes and I think the author did a great job including things that would pique a child’s interest.
