I love this story...

I love animals and I love it when they are brought into fiction storylines...especially if they have personality and are "lovable".

Since one of my sons works at our local zoo, this makes reading this story even more interesting as I know some of the background to being in this line of work.

I am sharing parts of this story with my son. I am sure he will enjoy the parts where Lucy is telling us what she thinks about situations.

I am anxious for tomorrow's read and I most definitely plan to read this book in its entirety.

I also would like to know if this author has written any other books with animals in their story?

Unexpectedly delightful

We actually hung around online last night hoping that part 3 would show up!

Her descriptive style is nicely vivid. She sketches the operations of the zoo in a way that informs without condescending. She introduces a bunch of characters and makes it easy to differentiate among them.

(And who could resist a title like "Anteater of Death"?)
