'A fable for our time in the tradition of Aesop, La Fontaine, and Kipling. This beautifully illustrated children's book focuses on the "hot" environmental issues of today. Through the techniques of magic and imagery, this story in fable form teaches children about the thorny problems facing animals (and us) today. Its purpose is to give children insight into such ideas as conservation, habitat destruction, overpopulation, poaching, and extinction by looking with great sensitivity at certain endangered animals, including the rhino, elephant, addax, cheetah, and gorilla. Seen through the eyes of a little eight-year-old native boy from Zaire and his magical friend and mentor, the Patron Wizard of the animals of Africa, this book is sure to delight both young and old alike. Foreword by Michael Dee, curator of the LA Zoo. Recommended for ages seven through adult.
