Title: African Cats
Author: Adapted by Cathy Hapka
Copyright Date: 2011
Publisher: Disney Enterprises Inc.
Possible Theme: Africa, Lions, Savanna
Personal Response: Every little girl loves kittens! This book is
about the wild lions of Africa and it features a little lion cub named Mara and
her pride (family). This nonfiction book is for younger children and is based
off the Disney film of the same name. It reminds all of us to protect nature
and that all big cats start off as innocent little cubs. Possible hazards are
not really brought up in this nonfiction book, which correctly chooses to focus
on a daily life of the lion pride. It gives great facts along with interesting
photos.
Student Journal Entry: Baby lion Mara makes many new discoveries. Write
a paragraph about what you learned about lions or Africa.
Activity (Art or Other): Go to this website that Disney has made
featuring the African Cats HERE. Watch some of the videos and photo slideshows.
