Book 6 in The Incredible Adventures of Casper the Cat Who Got Lost in Africa sends readers racing across the savannah alongside some of the fastest-and most underestimated-animals in the bush: the ostriches.
Still trying to find her way home, Casper the Cat stumbles upon a group of wide-eyed baby ostriches who have lost their parents and urgently need help. With danger lurking beneath the grass and predators never far away, Casper must guide the nervous flock to safety-despite the fact that ostriches aren’t exactly known for listening, staying still, or thinking things through.
Along the way, Casper encounters a delightfully grumpy dung beetle, poisonous red-headed centipedes, a brilliant young ostrich who knows far more than anyone expects, and a heroic one-toothed warthog who charges in just in time. Together, this unlikely team proves that bravery comes in many forms-and that intelligence, kindness, and teamwork matter just as much as speed.
Perfect for readers ages 6-10, The Ostriches is a beautifully illustrated chapter book packed with:
-Fast-paced animal adventures and laugh-out-loud moments
-Heartfelt themes of courage, cooperation, and believing in yourself
-Fascinating wildlife facts woven seamlessly into the story
Written by award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Ussi and illustrated by Lekshmi Bose, this lively and inspiring tale celebrates curiosity, compassion, and the power of helping others-reminding young readers that even when the world feels overwhelming, no one has to face it alone.
