My kids are really enjoy this Animal Ark series and they wanted me to read one of their favorites. The parts of the story that involved the animals were really great, we learn a lot from Mandy's veterinarian parents and the adventures they go on.
There were just a couple of things that made this not my favorite. One is the use of the expletive "Oh, Lord" (used at least twice, once by an adult and once by a kid). The other is that the kids get themselves into some trouble at the end and weren't held responsible in any way but were actually rewarded for their sneakiness. I don't think my children have noticed these things, however, and we will continue to enjoy the series!

Read this to my 7 year old for bedtime reading. She enjoyed it and it was a fun read when I added accents to the characters.
