This is the second book in the series My Grandma, which are informative and educational books for toddlers and young children who are learning to read. It aims to describe life in other countries by describing the people, animals and plants, which may be quite foreign to little ones who may never have the opportunity to travel. The author illustrated all the images either in watercolour or oil, using photos she took on her many trips to South Africa, including the Kruger National Park. The animals are realistically portrayed and the text is descriptive, although in rhyme. The author's grandchildren were the inspiration for the books in this series.
