This book features a wild adventure approach of Crocodile Hunter. It shows a pith-helmeted boy explorer who utters mostly exclamations whenever he sees different exotic and wild animals and insects. This book is almost wordless, with a big spread of photo-like realism. Florczak is a great illustrator he likes to play with psychedelic colors that turns out his book a real Safari. This is proved by Iris, "Mummy, macam betul kan?". In his jungle exploration, he finds many exotic and dangerous animals like orangutans, humongous Nile crocodile, Australian frilled lizard, tarantula and many more. Each comes with exact scientific Safari name. The boy is so terrified when all the animals running to get him. I exaggerated a bit on this page asking the girls to run as fast as they can, "Run Iris run!! Run Iesha run!! Run Iyra run!!". But much to their surprise, the last page shows the boy asleep holding a book about wild adventure. Did he really have a real adventure? I let my girls decide for it. Thanks BigBadWolf for another great book.
