rated it  5 stars May 29, 2008 t was amazing. Recommends it for: creches and pre-schools, families. Lulama is scooped up by a near sighted fish eagle and dropped far from home. She asks several animals the way and has to use her wits to outsmart predators. Children learning to count will love being smarter than the foolish baboons.
