From the publisher:

Tired of roughing it outdoors and longing for the simple luxuries of the Central Park Zoo, Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and the rest of the gang pile aboard a jumbo jet piloted by those scheming pint-sized penguins. This harebrained charter flight is perhaps their worst idea yet, but it's their only hope to get back to The Big Apple.

This book is part of the entertaining and interactive adventure of the Madagascar movies from your favorite jungle oasis. The abundance of developmental art, creative anecdotes, and special insight in the The Art of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is sure to drive kids and the chronically creative, wild.
