Lunde uses a question-and-answer format to provide very basic information. Addressing Little Meerkat, the author receives responses from the animal about its habitat, family structure, food, enemies, and so on. Watercolor, ink, and colored-pencil illustrations capture the activities of the meerkat family and are large enough to share with a small group.
Meerkats are small squirrel-sized animals that live underground. When above ground, they take it in turns to watch and listen for danger. Storybooks level 21
