An interesting tale of the animal world and the chaos that can be found along with those who stand up against it. When a member of the animal world goes missing it starts a search and rescue mission that soon involves nearly every animal imaginable.

Along the way there are some laughs, some scares and a hero or two to enjoy. A very imaginative story that any youngster should enjoy. The sketch style illustrations add another level of interest to the story as well.

Pick this one up for the little one then get ready for a quiet afternoon as he or she is involved in a good long read.

Let Me First Say that I am not left-handed. I wanted to read this book out of curiosity and because I thought it looked interesting. What I ended up with was a great story and a lot of knowledge.

The story is about a young girl who happens to be left-handed. The problem is those around her just don’t understand that and at her young age, even she doesn’t. This leads to her feeling almost like an outcast.

The story itself is a great lesson for anyone who feels different to help them realize that not everyone has to follow the same mold. Sometimes it’s the differences that lead to greatness. A school event day, a good friend, a new challenge and a proud Gran help out to show this to Vicky and by the end I was even tearing up a bit.

Then the author has to go and throw in a ton of wonderful information, some interesting facts and great ideas for her readers leaving me with no choice but to rate the book at five stars. The book should be read by all kids for the great story and the knowledge they can gain. I give it a big right and left thumbs-up!
