Face to Face With Lions- Non-fiction


Face to Face With Lions
by Beverly and Dereck Joubert

This book is fantastic and would serve as a great resource for a homework report, class assignment, or just to read to gain a better understanding of lions in general. I was so fascinated with this book that I did some research and discovered that the husband and wife authors have spent over 25 years in Africa photographing lions and other animals. The pictures are very vivid and up close to the lions. The photos show the lions napping, swimming, playing, caring their cubs, preying, and eating. The authors share information about lion diets, everyday life, and life expectancy. The book also includes a map that highlights where lions live and prowl in Africa. The end of the book has some beneficial sections, such as an index, glossary, notes from research and a bibliography.
