The greatest thing about this book is that the story is told through the eyes of animals. It is interesting to read how they might see and comprehend our world. It’s an imaginative story that will take children on an adventure. A family of deer decide to go on a tour of the city with their tour guide, a raccoon. It was hilarious how the raccoon described some of our every day things such as clothes, pets and automobiles. The deer learn that as exciting the city is, it is also a dangerous place as well. This is a story the kids are sure to enjoy!

A family of deer are being guided by a racoon on a safari looking at human behaviour, but they have to be careful that they aren’t seen, or the safari will come to a swift end.
As the family look at human behaviour and try to explain it from an animals point of view, their capers are fun filled and interesting, while also being funny with the descriptions of human life from a different perspective.
This is a book all ages will enjoy, while also asking important questions about nature, both human and animal and is a good jumping point into talking more about the differences and similarities which exist there.

I don’t have young kids any more as mine are all grown but had this book been around when they were little I absolutely would have read this to them time and time again. It truly is a fun read that had me laughing quite a few times and the illustrations are just gorgeous and complement the storytelling beautifully.

This was a very cute story about how animals possibly see us humans. How we live must really be very peculiar to them and even rather scary. My 4 year old granddaughter found the story amusing. She really liked the illustrations too. I would definitely consider purchasing this book for gifts as well.

People Safari by Feather Chelle is an adorable Children’s Book with a fun twist. This cleverly written story is about a Safari. But not like the ones we are use to. The story takes us on a Safari through the eyes of animals who are studying Humans in their natural habitat. Ranger Marco takes Buck, Doe, and Fawn through a Human City. Along the way they try to understand why the Humans behave the way they do. Such as why they wear clothes and why children are eaten by buses everyday and then spit out later. It is cute, funny, and a cool way to help kids understand seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. If you have kids this is a great story that will have you both laughing and keep everyone entertained.

This is a fun book to read for all ages and the illustrations are engaging and full of color.
Ranger Marco the Raccoon takes a family of deer and teaches the family, especially Fawn, what “people” are like. Fawn and her parents, Doe and Buck, get an inside scoop of where people live, walking and transportation and such…
I love the learning aspect of this book and the journey you are taking while reading this book. The story is great and lots of fun.

When we hear the word safari, we always think of animals and their habitats that we’re observing. However, this particular book is doing the opposite. The animals are the main characters, and they are observing the human habitat. The characters are very well thought out. The story flows really easily and is easy to comprehend. The illustrations are very well done and colorful.

People Safari is a cute children’s book that is told through the eyes of animals and how they see the world. It’s intended for readers ages 5-10 but I anyone can enjoy it. The illustrations are great and make the story come to life. My five year old son loved it so much we’ve read it several times already. Ranger Marco (racoon) takes the other animals on a safari tour to town where they see all kinds of strange things( humans, cars) follow along as we learn how animals see our world through their eyes. We loved this fun story and definitely recommend reading. We can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is a fun and alternative take on a wildlife safari. A family of deer is taken on a human safari with their raccoon tour guide to observe humans in their natural habitat and observe their unusual ways. This story is aimed at younger readers with a fun unusual twist and lovely illustrations.

Cute and whimsical story from the perspective of Ranger Marco (a raccoon) and the Deer Family: Buck, Doe, and Fawn about humans and how they live. This story is super cute and I love the different perspective it offers so that the readers and listeners get a different idea of how humans live and how odd some of the things we do could seem to animals. I love the illustrations as well. Definitely read this to the littles! Makes for a great story time!

Let’s just take a moment and admire the cover of this book. It’s beyond brilliantly beautiful and the illustrations inside are equally as radiant!
This book was a journey…an adventure and was a very fun read! I laughed out loud several times reading this book and I know that kids will find it even more humourous than I did! Some parents may not appreciate one portion of the humor presented but given the story, I found it very appropriate and the kids will love it.
Ranger Marco, who is a raccoon, is helping out the Deer family in teaching their young Fawn about safety in different environments. They journey out of the woods to a nearby town where big yellow tubes suck up children and bring them back at the end of the day. Where there is a lot of noise that’s not heard in the woods. Small animals that are attached to their owners who are covered in strange material. Fawn learns to respect her environment and to accept who she is during this adventure.

Ranger Marco takes Buck, Doe, and Fawn put to the city on a people safari so Fawn can learn about the human world. We learn about how people act and what they do, but also how they are tearing down the forests where animals live to build even more cities. Me and my daughter really enjoyed this story and learned so much!

This is a GREAT book – looking at humans from the animal point of view. Just as we, humans, go to watch wildlife in their habitats, a group of deer joing their tour guide to see the life of humans. They encounter dwellings, buses, dogs, clothes, etc. And just as we humans have questions, the deer have questions – valid ones that question why we do what we do!
Get ready to gear up with Ranger Marco on a People Safari! Do not worry, no humans were harmed in this adventure. Ranger Marco is taking a family of deer scientists on a tour of a real human neighborhood to gather scientific information about humans. Ranger Marco helps the family navigate the neighborhood and they see daily life of humans including dogs with clothes?!? Chelle does a wonderful job capturing the thoughts animals might have about the rather strange human behaviors they see throughout the story. The illustrations throughout the book are creative and really brings the story to life. While this story is a longer one, it could be split up into sections for reading at bed time. This book would also be great to use in a classroom for a daily read aloud. At the end of the book, you could have your own people safari themed party complete with safari gear and a picnic. You could also have students write their own blurb about an illustration and from an animal’s point of view- this would work well if you have a classroom pet or even a pet at home.

This was such a cute book. A look from the other side of the woods. The animals give their perspective as to what human life looks like from their point of view. Cute and informative. Also a lesson on being aware of your surroundings and listening to what your parents say. My 3 yr old nephew loved all the pictures and we named all the animals and he sat still for the story so I call that a win. Thank you, Feather Chelle, for such a cute book.

The Hussar’s Duty by Griffin Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my second book by this author which I enjoyed reading. It is the third book in this series and I look forward to reading the previous books in this series. It can be read as a standalone as well. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull me into the story from the start. The characters are relatable and creative. A story about a warrior who finds himself in a position of having to make a choice of defending the country who needs him or his family who also needs him. A story of honor, devotion and obligation. You don’t want to miss what happens with this warrior as his heart is toren in two different directions. I enjoyed what the characters brought to this story. It is a entertaining and easy story to read. It is fast paced and full of adventure. I highly recommend this book.

People Safari was a cute book about a deer who wanted to adventure outside the forest. Ranger Marco, a raccoon, is about to take them on this journey, but the deer family is a little weary. Fawn, the young deer, is very excited to learn about his outside world and is amazed by many of the things learned. The fawn learns about neighborhoods, people, and what people do all according to the raccoon which is funny. However, they get spooked when they make their way into a garden and Fawn gets a little lost in the city. Ranger Marco finds the fawn quickly and because she was scared she quickly wants to find her parents and go back to the forest. When Ranger Marco asked if they were ready to explore more, the deer family wouldn’t have it. This was a cute book. I liked all the little thoughts about what they think people do in accordance with getting on a bus for school, walking their pets, and even how pooping works. The fact that the deer thought the human world was crazy was also funny because, well, it is!! I found the illustrations really cute too!

The Hussar’s Duty by Griffin Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Hussar’s Duty is the third book in The Winged Warrior series by Griffin Brady. This is an intriguing historical adventure story with drama, action, romance, angst, danger, family, emotion, plots, agendas, duty/responsibility, tension, loyalties, challenges, and more.
Jacek is one of the most fearless and dedicated winged warriors, and when his country calls him back to the battlefield he is torn between his honor as a formidable Polish soldier with a duty to his country, and love- his obligation to his family. It seems that no matter what he chooses the price will be high. What happens makes for an intriguing read.
I appreciated Griffin Brady’s attention to detail and wonderfully descriptive writing which brought the whole story to life right before my eyes. The historical detailing was on-point and easily captured my attention, pulling me into the story and transporting me to the 17th century where I stayed fully immersed in the developments as the story unfolded. It is apparent that the author has spent a lot of time researching the era and it shows in her attention to detail.
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Griffin Brady!

I love finding new authors and reading all sorts of new genres and books. This book was certainly a filler in all these categories. I just wish that I had younger children to read this to. I will certainly be recommending this book to all with small children. The author does a really great job of creating a story that teaches children as well as entertains them. The characters are very loveable and even though animals very believable. I would definitely read more from this author in future and recommend others to read as well.

Jacek and Oliwia are living at peace with their growing family. When trouble arises and Jacek is called back into service to fight for Poland, he learns that things are not as black and white as he once believed. When orders are given that place the entire alliance in peril, Jacek must decide where his loyalty truly lies. I LOVE this series. The description of the characters, estates, and battles is sensational! I highly recommend this book, and the series.

This was a book I couldn’t put down. Jacek’s journey was tough and it kept me engaged it in this story until the end. He had to choose between career or family.That’s always a touch one. Well-written, this book takes you to a place that we have never been. It’s an amazing story that just left me wanting more more. I have read each of the author’s books in this series and they are so good. This is just as good. The characters are so uniquely genuine and even based in 17th century, they are relatable. This is a must read if you love historical fiction.

The Hussar’s Duty is book 3 in The Winged Warrior Series. It can be read alone, but you should start with the first book, The Heart of a Hussar. This historical romance is set in 17th century Poland in a time when there where an elite cavalry the Winged Hussars.
Griffin passion on the subject, history and time is clearly evident in the narrative in this intriguing story. The characters are fully realised and well written and it is hard not to get drawn into their journey in a time of war. Each page reveals layers of history making it a fascinating read.
Jacek is torn between duty and family when he learns of another mission.
Griffin’s narrative paints a multi-layered and vivid picture of life and times in this period piece. The story is original and unique.

Like the vocabulary- from the idiom “faint of heart” to “homo sapiens” to settlement to cluster to monstrosity, which is refreshing for a book I would target towards preschoolers and younger. The book would be a joy to read to a young audience because it is told through different animal voices.
The story reminded me of Just So Stories, telling who humans stand and have hands. As an adult, I appreciated both the cuteness of the book as well as the funny regurgitated children from the school bus scene.

People Safari is a fun and whimsical book told from the perspective of wildlife animals. A group of animals, including a deer family, are taken on a tour by their Tour Guide who is a racoon to observe people in their natural habitat. While on tour they learn the peculiar habits of humans who throw away a lot of perfectly good food, grow gardens full of delicious vegetables the animals are chased away from, and allow their small humans to be swallowed up by large, yellow beasts. Oh, and where do they go to the bathroom? This was a delightful read that was funny, witty, and informative. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and really brought this story to life. Although geared towards younger children this is a fun book for all ages to read. I highly recommend this informative and entertaining book about animals and how they perceive humans.

People Safari by Feather Chelle is a cute and fun illustrated children’s adventure story. Written with plenty of witty humour really made for quite an entertaining read.
This is a safari story with a difference though, as it is told/shown from the animal’s perspective as they ‘tour’ a town full of people, and we get to see our way of life in a different light, as the animals observe the humans as they go about their daily lives.
This is a fairly long story, but with plenty of bright, colourful, and interesting illustrations sprinkled through the book which really help the story come to life.
Join Ranger Marco, the raccoon guide, as he takes the other animals on this fun safari. This is sure to please the children in your life, or the young at heart.
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Feather Chelle!

It is easy to dive into the story with the bright and colourful illustrations by Pandu Permana that bring Feather Chelle’s words to life.
Children between the ages of 5 – 10 years and even adults will delight in this refreshing tale where a deer family and their raccoon guide take an up close and personal look into scientific behaviours of the humankind.
An excellent book for special occasions.
