Comments/Reviews

Mugambi (Kenyan for "leader") is a 6 week old cheetah cub who
safely leads his sisters through the dangerous Serengeti Plains to find
their mother. In this delightful story, written by Dr. John Becker and
illustrated by Mark Clapsadle, an array of African animals is wonderfully
visualized. This hardcover book is written for 3-8 year olds, and would
make a wonderful Christmas present. It should be available at your local bookstore for $14.95.

Dr. Becker also has written a series of books on animals, such as the
bald eagle, who have made comebacks from near extinction. These
hardbound books are for older children, and can be ordered at your
favorite bookseller.

"Having worked for many years with wildlife expert Jack Hanna, John has traveled throughout the world to observe and write about endangered animals in their natural habitats. He is also a frequent guest author in schools, where he teaches children to write nonfiction and creative stories that focus on the natural world. Because John writes quality children’s literature that inspires learning, his work is a terrific fit with our Gingham Dog Press imprint.”
