Book Description
Never Pull a Lion's Tail is a book of poems and photographs with a sense of humor and a profound appreciation for the animals of Africa. It contains a wealth of animal photography taken by the author, as well as by two of Africa's most eminent and widely published photographers: Karl Ammann and David Pluth. The book's imaginative presentation, and creative integration of poetry with photography, is a credit to the expertise of the publisher, Camerapix Publishers International of Nairobi, Kenya. This is a coffee-table edition, which would make a fine gift or a worthy addition to the family library. This is a book that parent and child can read together, and is both educational and lots of fun.

a treasure! September 12, 2006
Who doesn't love a book about animals? In the rich photographic collection of Barry J. Freeman's book, "Never Pull a Lion's Tail," readers will delight in not only fantastic pictures but also personable poetry. Go on safari with Barry and enjoy the ride.
With poems that reach out in animalistic innocence and humanistic politics, the book is a well-rounded offering to all ages. Children will love the references to the lion cub's nervousness, the baboon's overeating and the zebra losing his stripes, while adults might find satisfaction in a poacher who gets his just desserts, and a pair of waterbucks that thwart danger by falling in love. Young folks interested in animal conservation will no doubt be inspired, and those who just love photos of nature or poetry in the rhythm and rhyme style will be compelled to settle down with the book.
Barry Freeman, having gone on four African safaris to observe and photograph animals in their natural habitats, shares his joy with the world. It is obvious that he loves animals and his delight in writing about them shows on every page. The book is a wonderful addition to any library and home collection. The photos are absolutely splendid. Barry shares credit with two of Africa's widely published photographers: Karl Ammann and David Pluth. This is Barry's first published work but I certainly hope that it isn't his last!
"Never Pull a Lion's Tail" is a treasure!
