They all get their teeth nice and shiny, but no one wants to go to bed! The story is narrated with dialogue and illustrations.

Safari Camp is a simple narrative story. Illustrations match the text. Draw students’ attention to the visual features including the layout and design of the story. Enlarged illustrations of the animals’ different toothbrushes can support comparisons between them.
