PRAISE FOR THE LINCOLN ZOO REBELLION

"The Lincoln Zoo Rebellion is amazing! The characters are well-developed, the storyline will draw you in, and the fantasy to real life connection is amazing. One of the best books I have read." Owen, age 10 (6th grade)

"I loved this wonderful tale. The hero, Reggie, is a positive Pied Piper. This exciting story helps to foster children's ability to handle tough competition and greed and learn about standing up for one's beliefs with grit, generosity, humor, and love. I recommend it highly and enjoyed it enormously." Judith Warren, PhD., Psychologist

"It's a terrific book! It will have broad appeal to both boys and girls, especially animal lovers (most kids like animals). It's a fast-paced storyvery humorous with witty and wonderfully colorful descriptions. I loved Abby Sweet going into the lion's cage, Reggie learning animal languages, and the animals escaping from their cages." I had some good laughs in between holding my breath as the action accelerated." Alice Kaplan, Librarian

"The Lincoln Zoo Rebellion was really creative with the animal voices and was cool that the kids wanted to help make a rebellion. Also, you feel a line of suspense growing and thickening, then it pauses, and a new suspense starts. I learned a lot about animals and especially liked Reggie the Zoo Keeper, Teeny Tiny, and Little Max, and the zoo animalsthe Penguins, Rambo the Hippo, Leslie the Ring-tailed Lemur, and the Spotted Hyenas." Sophia, age 11 (5th grade)
