What the Animals Were Waiting For — Jonathan London
A vibrant and meditative journey to the African plains, where something big is about to happen.
Cowbells tinkle. And over there, a family of elephants
munches on dry grass, flaps huge ears
like slow fans, and waits.
It is a time of waiting. The gazelles, the wildebeest and the zebras are all waiting. The lions, too, and the crocodiles are waiting. Little Tepi watches the animals and wonders what is coming. Soon there will be rain, and food for everyone! In simple, stirring verse, this stunningly illustrated picture book tells the story of the dramatic cycles of life on the Masai Mara range in Africa -- one of the last great, wild places on Earth.
