review 1: Great story with a wonderful realistic approach that allowed the reader to evolve with the main character and watch him overcome his struggle. It did jump a bit in the middle, but I was able to follow it to the end. Even though the ending pulled the story together in a way, it was not as realistic an approach unless of course it ended in such a way as to leave it up to the reader to think of what may have happened or if it was merely a way to quickly end it?
review 2: A moving story of how the author connects with animals in the Bronx Zoo -- the only times he doesn't stutter. He promises that if he can beat his stutter, he will help them, and grows up to work with jaguars, speaking to governmental officials in Belize to establish a protected sanctuary. The il... morelustrations by Catia Chien are beautiful, but the insets don't always work seamlessly, leading to some choppiness. On the back jacket flap, there is a short, helpful Q&A with the author, some of which added important context to the books (e.g., it's a true story.) Thanks Alan, for letting us know of the important work of Panthera. less
