Oh Look, it's a Nosserus (Africa Stories) Book

Robbi is a young rhino who lives in a park in Africa. One day he misunderstands a little girl's cry, "Oh look, it's a nosserus." He thinks she's pointing at some other animal, and he sets out to save his friends from what he believes is a terrible beast. Along the way he learns an important lesson in self-esteem and in the groundlessness of many childhood fears. Kate Noble is also the author of BUBBLE GUM, the story of a young baboon's adventure in Africa, THE BLUE ELEPHANT, a zoo story, and THE DRAGON OF NAVY PIER. Rachel Bass is an artist and an art therapist. Her magical African landscape also is the setting for BUBBLE GUM. The increasingly wild pictures of the imaginary nosserus in this book are delightful. The story is designed to make children laugh and to stimulate their imagination, but there's another learning plus: the details of animal behavior are correct.Read More
