We're Going on Safari features the work of Tom Arma - in an exciting new direction for the man The New York Times called "the world's best-known baby photographer." Tom Arma's best-selling board books, calendars, and other stationary have all featured adorable babies in fabulous costumes. In his earlier board books, the babies were photographed against dull brown backgrounds. His babies glowed with good cheer and camaraderie, but the settings were dull. In this book, the babies have left the studio and venture to the African savannah, the rain forest, the Rockies, and all around the world to join their "real" animal counterparts. The resulting pictures, a blend of photography and illustration techniques using computer-assisted graphics, leap off the page with vitality and wit. Elephants, pelicans, lions, bighorn sheep, hippopotamus, zebras, leopards, chameleons, flamingos, giraffes, owls, gorillas, rhinoceros, cobras, and tigers are among the favorite animals featured. Lenny Hort's charming text, loosely based on the traditional chant "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" and perfect for read-alouds, works with the vibrant pictures to take young readers on a silly and stunning safari. Ages 3-6
