Jacob's Dream!

About the Book

This book exposes children to 16 African animals and their habitats. It provides colorful illustrations to capture children’s imagination while developing their reading and thinking skills. Children can color the illustrations on each page, which further enhances the learning process. It will be especially useful for elementary teachers as they can use the book’s lesson plan tied to the Common Core State Standards to facilitate classroom instructions on the lifestyles of animals in Africa, build student vocabulary skills and apply learning to practice.
