Lonnie Lemur Explores Madagascar

Lonnie Lemur Explores Madagascar (c) is two enjoyable children's books combined within one colorful book cover - a fun fictional adventure and a revealing informational text. Together, these different writing styles introduce the curious reader to many of the creatures that live on the island that is so close to the continent of Africa, and how the Malagasy people live within their underdeveloped isolated nation. The two books share much of the same information - only presented differently - about the island's geographical environments, its various climatic and seasonal conditions, the life habits of numerous island animals within these different environs, and how Malagasy people live far different lives compared to people living in more developed modern nations. Lonnie Lemur, along with his two travel mates - Zeke the Zebu and Charlie the Chameleon - explore Madagascar meeting a variety of native birds and reptiles and amphibians and arachnid and insects and mammals only to be found living on this remote island, and learn about how these different creatures live within their chosen surroundings. During their arduous adventure trekking throughout the rugged island, the traveling trio quietly observe Malagasy men and women and children working together so to survive within difficult natural circumstances. The purpose of Lonnie Lemur Explores Madagascar (c) is to inform many fortunate children throughout the world as to how different and how difficult daily life is in many underdeveloped nations of the world, and to hopefully encourage these fortunate children and their parents - or even when these fortunate children grow into adults - to travel to underdeveloped nations, like Madagascar, so to have a personal learning experience of how less fortunate people struggle to live. Also, the small amount of initial earnings by this author in the sale of this book - and in the sale of his other published children's books - will be accumulated into a fund so to help pay for life-saving childhood vaccines specifically for Malagasy children.
