Review

This is a lovely story about a little boy that stutters as young boy but can talk with animals. When he grows up, he needs to find his voice to save the animals he loves. This story is a picture autobiography of Alan Rabinowitz that reads like a work of fiction. Children and adults will be captivated by the drawings and the way Rabinowitz doesn't let his stuttering prevent him from following his dream of saving animals, especially jaguars. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars. CREAM

Overall Book Score: excellent
