Like the last sip of a chocolate milkshake, it's very satisfying."--Kirkus Reviews From School Library Journal K-Gr 2Duncan the dragon loves reading. At least, he thinks he does. He can never quite get to the end of the book because his imagination sets them on fireliterally. Filled with longing to reach "The End," Duncan asks numerous woodland critters to read to him, but no one will take up his offer. Finally, a mouse who loves stories reads to Duncan and he experiences a satisfying ending, which, as the book points out, is "only the beginning." The cartoonlike illustrations add humor (Duncan in an ice bath with melted soaps to cool his imagination flame) and action (sailing on the high seas, surrounded by aliens, etc.). VERDICT An additional purchase for libraries in need of more picture books about the joy of reading.Brittany Staszak, St. Charles Public Library, IL --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Counting game from the air is not an exact science. First introduced in the early 1970s, it was only from the 1980s that the programme became refined when Nicky Oppenheimer, Mark Berry and their teams regularly conducted aerial game counts on the various properties. Counting Wildlife, a photo-rich book compiled by Mark Berry and Duncan MacFadyen, tells the fascinating story of the  census process over 30 years, the evolvement of methodology and technology, and how the advent of the portable  computer, Bluetooth activated GPS and the digital camera brought about game-changers. This technology brought about huge paradigm shifts in both the process and the results.

But the continent conceals multiple secrets, including the Holy Grail: explanations of its saga over the previous centuries. Africa's Future tells the tale of Africa's economic evolution, revealing unique prisms for understanding the continent's panoramic story, one of triumph over the lasting influences of nature and multiple political tragedies. It explains why from Roman times to 1500 CE Africa went backwards, evolving slowly, growing later, improving recently, and how its modern and archaic economies coexist uneasily today. Modern Africa developed diverse economic pathways to betterment - yet survivalist economies litter the landscape. Its paradox of "subsistence with many faces" coexists amidst the tiny middle class, growing rich, and many more poor expected in the future. Clarke provides fresh and challenging insights into Africa's economies and future, offering seasoned views on a continent of unlocked potential which has witnessed many false dawns. Not "poor" but poorly managed, Africa holds greater promise, its destiny revealed by its history. Features Summary One of the world's leading strategists on global oil exploration puts forward a unique reformulation of Africa's economic past, present and future, revealing the continent's changing political landscape and likely trajectories..
