Safari Adventure takes the reader on a
fictional African trip to count animals, observe
their behaviors, and graph the resulting data. It
teaches kids basic information about tables, pie
charts, bar graphs, and line graphs.
As I was writing this book, I asked one of my
critique groups for suggestions about what I should
include. My friend Carol Peterson,
brainstormer extraordinaire, suggested I have
my narrator graph the number of insect bites
received on the safari. Genius! That's one of
my favorite spreads in the book.
