Mom's Review:
A good book. The story moves along and is pretty exciting without being overly scary. The descriptions of the places Charlie visits are vivid, and the cats are especially amusing. The lions are majestic, and their plight will move you. Zizou Corder (really a pseudonym for a mother-daughter team) obviously really loves animals, and any animal lovers will appreciate this book.
