MY REVIEW
When I saw that this was a picture book for children I expected less than 20 pages with very small words that a seven year old could easily understand. Thankfully, the 48 pages are filled with gorgeous illustrations of each animal.
The animals are pronounced by their correct names and many are not easy to say. I love how the verse is written in a higher vocabulary level. This type of reading to a child can really cause them to think at a higher level. They realize that you are reading them difficult words, because you trust that they can understand the words and sentences.
All the animals are beautifully illustrated and many are described in vivid detail as they go through in the African wild. I look forward to reading this book to my grandchildren. I long to create in them an interest in important things and words and content that is hard to understand. I really love the book.

Publisher’s Book Synopsis: 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.
