"We are 3 for 3! My 4 and 6 year old love this series! It gives them just enough suspense and then a feel good ending. They are wishing tomorrow away so we can start reading the next book!" — Marcy (4 out of 5 stars)

" I liked learning about Crocidiles "
" Great writing in that difficult early chapter book phase. Akimbo saves his friend who is hurt by a crocodile. "
" We loved this book! It was educational and action-packed! Akimbo is a wonderful character- a young boy called upon to be responsible and brave! Excellent series- so glad we discovered it! "
" Definitely after the lion cub story, since there's reference to it in the story. Akimbo show a lot of bravery (going for help alone), intelligence (using the log as a canoe) and abilities (hotwiring the car). "
" Written by the man who brought adults the Ladies Number 1 Detective Agency, this is a series of kids books (mid to late grammar school) also set in Africa--very well done--Akimbo is a keeper "
