About the Book
Join Buzz the fly on his Fly On Safari adventure to the African savannah, where he meets animals that live there. He learns facts about their lives and what life on the savannah is like from the animals' point of view. This story is based on a real safari trip that author Amy Fell took to Africa. During her 20 years of teaching art in Northwest Ohio, Amy incorporated reading and writing ideas into art lessons for her students. She also used stories she wrote as springboards for project ideas in her classroom, in summer arts camps, and in art classes she taught at a local regional art center. She continued this idea by creating Kid’s FEEDBACK Magazine designed as a creative tool to promote reading and writing across the curriculum. It inspired ARTaFacts Magazine, a publication about the world of art for elementary and secondary students. As a child in Northwest Ohio, Amy loved making up stories and drawing imaginary pictures. She combined her talents as an elementary art teacher, an artist, and a writer to create her first children’s book, Two Terrible Eaters. In addition, Amy has also written four other children’s books. Fly On Safari is Amy’s newest and her sixth children’s book. It is based on a recent safari trip she took to Kenya and Tanzania.
