Description
A highly recommended story splashing a child's observations of the river with fine art.
The story begins on a dry Botswana day when young Gugu, a giraffe, announces he wants to go fishing. He wants to know, "What is a fish?" Matriarch Chidinma of the nearby elephant herd allows Gugu to join her parade lumbering to the Okavango River. There, Gugu can board a mokoro tourist boat to see about fishing. Adventure awaits Gugu as the matriarch elephant, a crocodile, a hippopotamus, and a cormorant explain why they could not possibly be a fish! Reference guide with book questions are included for teachers and student resources.
