The author is a resident of Budapest, who knows the region intimately and takes us behind the scenes to discover its best features the sights, the places to stay and eat, the shopping, and all the activities. Millions of people every year hike into, bike, drive or climb into the green valleys and limestone mountain ridges of Hungary s national parks and the hills. Storks, eagles, wrens, blackbirds, woodpeckers, and flocks of thousands make their home in forests, grasslands, and cliff-sides. Majestic antlered stags and deer range the forest. Fresh springs and cold clear creeks tumble down from the mountains. The author takes us there. Sitting astride the Danube, Budapest has been called the Paris of Eastern Europe and The Pearl of the Danube. There are thousands of restaurants and virtually every type of cuisine. Hotels and nightspots are just as numerous and the author guides us to the best of them all. This is the only guide illustrated with color maps and photographs throughout.

A short illustrated story about a young giraffe growing up in the African Rift Valley, and meeting a variety of African animals. He and the other characters are cartoon versions of real animals and I have tried to keep them in character while indulging in enthusiastic anthropomorphism. Twiga is a reticulated giraffe, common in Northern Kenya when I was there and is now on the threatened list. Twiga is giraffe in Kiswahili. The book has been written in a style that I hope entertains the young and adults while also conveying some of the real biological characteristics of the animals. There is a specific message on conservation and the harm caused by humans to the environment. Illustrations and script are all by the author, Juliet Gwynne Ament, who lived and worked in Africa for over 10 years. This is an illustrated children's story with links to real animal sounds, credited to their owners, and links to wildlife conservation web pages. All photographs by the author's family taken on safari in Africa (Masai Mara, Kenya). Interactive e-book.
