Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Nature's Footprints in the African Grasslands
Querida Lee Pearce · 1990
60/100
👎 Skip It
The animal-tracks organizing device is a clever, kid-friendly way into African wildlife, and the Silver Burdett series has a creditable library pedigree. But this is a short, out-of-print book from 1990 with no meaningful review record and limited detail in the dossier — what we know is fine, but 'fine' at this level of thinness lands squarely in mixed territory. Great if you find it at a library sale; not worth hunting down.
