A New York Times bestseller, Safari is a magical journey for the whole family. Readers, as if on African safari, encounter eight wild animals that come alive using never-before-seen Photicular technology. Each full-color image is like a 3-D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid, immersive visual experience. The result is breathtaking. The cheetah bounds. The gazelle leaps. The African elephant snaps its ears. The gorilla munches the leaves off a branch. It’s mesmerizing, as visually immediate as a National Geographic or Animal Planet special.
Accompanying the images is Safari, the guide: It begins with an evocative journal of a safari along the Mara River in Kenya and interweaves the history of safaris. Then for each animal there is a lively, informative essay and an at-a-glance list of important facts. It’s the romance of being on safari and the thrill of seeing the animals in motion in a book unlike any other.

"This book is amazing. i saw the video of it but still could not believe the way the pictures move.. hopefully there will be others like this book."

"My daughter - as well as I were captivated by the movement of the animals in the book. the book is also sturdy enough that she wont destroy it (she is 2yrs old). We have animal flash cards that she looks at and immediately recognises the animals in the Safari book, but now, they are animated. Now, that was cool i thought as it will keep her attention for a while. I look forward to other books that you would create, perhaps a series of animals, sea creatures etc...? I would buy it!"

"I have purchased this book (and the others in the collection) for several family and friends' baby showers/birthday gifts. The parents love them but the bonus is the kids do too - even a 2 year old was fascinated with looking at the pictures. Highly recommend these books!"

"This is a fantastic book. We first saw it at Disney World's Animal Kingdom. It is one of those things that needs to be seen. The animals moving on the pages is mesmerizing. We bought 2 as gifts for our daughters and their families. They loved them - even the teenagers. It makes a great book either for yourself or as a great gift for someone special - and at considerable savings over the list price. The shipping was prompt and the packaging good."

"Awesome book everyone should have this for their kids."
