An African Wildlife Adventure in Poems and Paintings Can You Spot the Leopard? is author/artist Karen B. Winnick's newest picture book, an adventuresome African safari presented through poems and full-color paintings. Readers begin at sunrise, climbing into a jeep for a bumpy ride to view the wondrous animals as they would on a real safari. All the poems are based on real observations of what animals do in the wild, related in an accessible way. There's even a sighting, finally, of the elusive leopard, before returning to safari camp under a starry night. At the back of the book, further information is related about each animal.  A fun, informational, educational adventure to read and reread. ​Ms. Winnick is an animal enthusiast, president of the Los Angeles Zoo Commission, and author of more than a dozen picture books, including Gemina: The Crooked-Neck Giraffe, How Lucky Got His Shoe, and Mr. Lincoln's Whiskers.… (més)

This book is a solid 3.5 stars. I rounded up on the rating because I think it would be closer to a 4 but not quite a 4. Thank you to the author for sending a lovely autographed copy.

The illustrations in the book are lovely. I know they will appeal to children as they appealed to me. They are soft paintings with a focus on the animals featured in the page's poem. I like that there is not a lot going on in the back ground of the illustrations and that the colors are mostly blue, green, grey, brown, and black with a smattering of yellows and pinks; true nature colors without a lot of gaudy attention grabbing colors thrown in. This is a book we can safely read to calm at bedtime or even for a slowdown in the middle of the day.

I liked some of the poems quite well. It is good poetry, but obviously not Robert Frost. I liked it but not as well as say Joyce Sidman's poetry. Perhaps it is not exactly my style. When I went through and read it again however, I liked it better. I think if I read it out loud to my 6yr old I would have fun with it. We just haven't gotten a chance yet.

My oldest (16) declared this a "nice book." We are picture book aficionados so her buy off is usually a good sign. While this book is not destined to be one of our favorites, it is one I will keep on my shelf because of the artwork, subject matter (African animals), and poetry combination. ( )

Karen Winnick's book caught my attention as I am a fan of big cats. I received a copy of this book from Library Thing in exchange for a review. While I don't have any children yet, I enjoyed the exquisite illustrations and inspiring poems. This book makes me long for a real visit to Africa! I will hang onto this unlessl I find a child who might benefit from it. ( )

A beautifully illustrated book. Probably better for slightly older kids, since the ratio of text to illustration is quite high. Older elementary school age children would probably enjoy reading this on their own, especially if they love animals!

A beautiful book with enrapturing artwork. Winnick showcases art that is captivating for all ages. A book that parents (and grandparents) will enjoy as much as the kids!

This is a book of poems and haikus. I appreciate the illustrations are paintings they are very nice to. My children enjoyed the paintings but not so much the poems. Some of the poems I liked some I did not care either way. I have never been a haiku fan so I am biased on that point. The book itself is very well made with nice think pages. The book is inviting and feels good in your hands to read. I do not think its one we will read much but the kids like the paintings. ( )
