Billiam, an ordinarily grumpy Cape buffalo, becomes utterly ecstatic when he learns that the Red-billed Oxpeckers are no longer facing extinction, and they become his best friends. These truly unique birds stick with him through the thick and thin of life smack in the heart of Africa. Billiam touts how they protect him from predators like big cats and crocodiles by hissing, and he discovers that these birds are the only creatures that purposely seek and devour his disgusting disease-carrying ticks.

After a long time in captivity, it's a super good thing that these birds are still around because giraffes were going down without them.

Packed with fun phonics, and a few things that only a happy buffalo would say. The ticks in my book are a visual reminder that the ever-creepy parasites are constantly on the move. We strive to be protected from predators and a better awareness of these tiny vampires (Deer Ticks are MUCH smaller than Black Legged Ticks) is a wonderful step in that direction."" Instilling a better awareness of disease-carrying parasites, and includes ideas for protecting yourself from ticks in the back of the book.

In the end, Jo discovered a love for graphic art and found the illustrations much easier than the writing.Jo is passionate about animals, enjoys reading, and treasures the phonics sprinkled throughout the English language.
