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.
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.
