Newest 5 Star Review From PACIFIC BOOK REVIEW:
One of the most important components in a good children’s book is an adventure, and Savanna’s Treasure is a non-stop rollercoaster of excitement. The story’s protagonists – Shamba, the field mouse, and Kali, the baby elephant – face challenges they strive to overcome, from the very first page, to the very last...the two form an unusual friendship in their struggle to survive. Their individuality is refreshing...
What elevates this book is its educational value. Children will also be introduced to places like the elephant orphanage, and about how greatly over-taxed they are..it’s a story about perseverance, friendship, and not judging books by their cover."
...good fit for early readers...story enriched by an inspiring animal alliance." —Kirkus Reviews
"...filled with fun-facts!" —Writer's Digest
"As with any read (but especially true in a children's book), it's the protagonists that capture attention - and C. Behrens does a fine job of creating personable creatures that are engaging and fun. will relish this enchanting saga!" —Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan

This action packed story will captivate your imagination all the way through.
