How To Babysit a Leopard: And other true stories from the travels of Ted and Betsy Lewin
Have you ever had to babysit a leopard cub? Gone to the bathroom while a hippo nudges the door? Been mugged by a band of baboons or woken up in the middle of the night to fine a cane rat dancing your toothpaste?
Acclaimed authors and artists Ted and Betsy Lewin have, and here they share their first-hand encounters with snakes, mountain gorillas, Mongolian wrestlers, juicy, colorful, edible worms, and more in this funny, fascinating, and sometimes terrifying account of their travels around the world.
Packed with pencil drawings, full-color illustrations, and captivating photographs, there is not a single dull moment as Ted and Betsy take the reader on an action-packed journey.
"Ted and Betsy Lewin's How to Babysit a Leopard is the journey of a lifetime about a lifetime of journeys. From scorpion spiders the size of dinner plates to the sleek patent leather hide of a cottonmouth, you're apt to go anywhere in these pages." -Richard Peck, Newbery Medal-winning author of A Year Down Yonder.
The Lewins will be joined by editor Neal Porter.
