I'm not usually a fan of thrillers. This one, however, I found captivating. The historical setting made it especially interesting. All of Ken Follett's books that I've read have been well-written. The historical perspective is fascinating, the story lines compelling, and the characters well-developed.

Clever story. Cute illustrations. One that adults can enjoy as much as the kids. I was pleasantly surprised, too, when our 3-year-old and 5-year-old started coming up with their own "safety tips", some genuine and some silly, after reading this story.

This has been a favorite of my 18-month-old grandson for a long time. The peek-a-boo flaps are large enough and sturdy enough for a baby's developing fine motor skills. The pictures are brightly colored and interesting, too.

One of those rare children's books that is fascinating for the adult reader as well as for the child. The children in the preschool class where I volunteer request this often and delight in remembering the interesting facts about the unusual animals.
