Saad the Meerkat: Babysitter and Teacher (Volume 1)

Saad the Meerkat, Babysitter and Teacher is an informative picture book for children ages 3-8. This beautifully illustrated book depicts, in a cunning and child-like way, where and how meerkats live. The book draws a parallel between human family relationships and meerkat family relationships. The meerkats inhabit Africa and therefore, have African names. The illustrator chose to dress them in beautifully colorful African clothing. The meerkat children learn about chores, responsibility and family living as will the young reader. They will find out that things do not always turn out as we expect.
