Enjoyed as a bedtime story
Both my children age 10 & 12 enjoyed this as a bedtime story. It was relaxing to listen to and read beautifully with all the different character voices. However, they did feel it took awhile for anything to actually happen in the storyline but I find it was great to play over 2 or 3 nights before bed as it is long enough to do so.

Delightful story for young children
For young animal lovers and any child who enjoys a gentle adventure. The animals, good and bad, that the hero encounters are well characterised and the African scenery is vividly drawn. The story is well read with all the animals having easily recognisable and different voices. Young listeners are in a safe pair of hands. Undemanding entertainment for a long car journey perhaps.
