For Author Phyl Manning
Africa is a favored destination and the wildlife in Southern Africa is a
long-time passion.
Here is the African Jungle is based on a sunset
scene at a tributary to the Zambezi River, with animals in the book
doing what they normally do "...except of course they don't speak
English!" As far as we know...
At a reading of Here is the African Jungle conducted at
Amicus Books, we discovered the beauty and elegance of this story. "She
really caught the Muse, when she wrote this piece," sang Kathleen
Stewart the Story Teller who read the day of the event. "It is a
magically metered piece that can be read to a rhythm." Kathleen chose
to read it to the meter of the children's favorite, The House That Jack
Built.
In a private reading, Phyl Manning
read her own story to the meter of an African Drum Beat. The
possibilities are tremendous for any storyteller, whether amateur or
professional, child or parent; Here is the African Jungle is a
wonderful read.
The magic of the book lies not only in the well written, well delivered
story; it is equaled by the beautifully painted artwork of master
illustrator Steve Ferchaud.
Here is what people are saying about Here is the African Jungle:
"Captivating...a lyrical quality that complements the incredible illustrations"
- The Reading Tub, September 2006
"Witty and bouncy and calls to be read aloud...it made me smile!"
- Dan Barnett, Chico Enterprise-Record
Here is the African Jungle takes you to the trees and water of
beautiful Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. Here are the largest and wisest,
tallest, fiercest, loudest, hungriest, blindest, the most clever—surely
among the most magnificent of the world's glorious wildlife, gathered
by water at the edge of the mysterious Kalahari Desert.

 America, the land of opportunity we call it, has throughout its history attracted so many diverse peoples from far distances. Most Americans, if not immigrants themselves, are descendents of those who came here in search of something better, albeit a search not without its challenges.
