What's For Lunch, Mom?

"What's for Lunch, Mom" describes the journey of two cheetahs. "Mother and Cub, whose tummies were full, they couldn't get up. They were fast asleep; days and night went by, till Cub woke up with a very loud cry. 'I'm hungry, I feel it in my tummy. Let's go and hunt, and find something yummy.'"So starts the quest of the two cheetahs for food. The story is told in rhyme and is aimed at the 4- to 8-year-old child. It is based on the author's experience during a three-week safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and along the Chobe River between Botswana and Namibia. Throughout the book, the reader encounters some of the many wildlife species of the Serengeti, learns the names of animal groupings, and appreciates the plight of the cheetahs in their quest for food. Cheetahs are endangered animals, and the last page of the book provides details on their characteristics, accompanied by select photos taken during the safari.
