,
Welcome to The Kid’s Korner.
I decided to do this feature as I have so many great children’s books to share. From picture books, to books for beginning readers, to middle graders and young adults, I have plenty of fun ones.
Today I’m sharing:
The Incredible Adventures Of Casper The Cat Who Got Lost In Africa: The Elephants
By Jennifer Ussi
Genre: Children’s Book / Adventure
MY REVIEW
So, this book picked up where the first adventure of Casper the cat ended. She’s still lost in Africa and trying to find her way back home. And now she’s making new friends.
Casper heads east, continuing her journey, and soon meets, Bugle, a baby elephant. What a perfect name. Made me grin.
Bugle explained the importance of elephant poop. I already knew some but also learned more. And it was a fun way to educate.
The illustrations were incredible and, as with the first book, there were fun facts included at the end about all of the animals featured. I thoroughly enjoyed this new adventure and can’t wait for the next. Giraffes, anyone?
I received a complimentary copy as a member of Casper’s Review Team. My review is voluntarily given.

Synopsis

A baby elephant who feels too small. A little cat who thinks otherwise.
Book 2: The Elephants
The way home lies east. Casper knows that much. How a city cat is supposed to survive in the African bush is another matter entirely.
Then she meets Bugle, a baby elephant with an unruly trunk, a great deal to say about poop and very little faith in himself. With his long-suffering sister Hannah nearby, Casper discovers that a mud bath can be a wonderful thing—and that the bush has plenty to teach her.
When an impala becomes trapped by his horns in a tree, Bugle insists he is too little to help. Can Casper persuade her new friend to try?
A warm, wonderfully funny adventure about believing in yourself, standing up to bullies and discovering that everyone has something to offer.
An adventure to share and grow with
