Precious Ramotswe's Very First Cases

review 1: Young Precious Ramotswe is back in a new adventure. Usually set in her hometown of Botswana, she gets to spend some time with her Aunt who runs a safari camp. There, exciting things are happening as a movie is being filmed featuring a lion actor. It's up to Precious to help when the animal star suddenly goes missing.Charming text. Unique illustrations. Not too scary situations but plenty of small excitements. My only complaint is that everything ties up too nicely.
review 2: Keeping in mind that this series is written for young children, I still have to assessing this entry as the least of the three. Whereas the others seemed to build a character-rich environment for Precious and showcase the early seeds of her detection skills... this one seems cheap. She leav... morees her native village to stay with her Aunty Bee at a safari camp where rather than encounter the wilds of Africa, she happens instead upon a movie set. I hope this isn't the jump-the-shark moment in the series. My twin girls (11) are already asking that I read them the original series (of which there are 15), in preference to the kid-light version. less
