What a great story for young readers! The perfect amount of adventure, curiosity, and suspense to keep you wanting more! We couldn’t put this down!
This book really hooks animal lovers. It is exiting and easy to connect with. I love the values of respect, hard work, and honesty this book teaches.
This book was like pulling teeth to get my daughter to read it. She was so excited by the description of the book but once she got in to it she hated it. It takes place a long time ago and the language matches the time period so it was a little much for her. She is not a strong reader but hasn’t had issues with other level four books by the good and the beautiful. I gave it 3 stars because it is a good book I just feel the language is to much for this level.
I read this out loud to my 2nd grader and preschooler. It was a good story, but they did lose interest a bit. It was still a good read and had some good lessons and messages.
My third grader loved this book. It is very entertaining and encourages good character.
“Most Daring Animal Trainer in the World,” the sign reads, and Sr. Dobbinelli is in need of a good, stout winter barn for his circus animals. Clay and his family have just the barn in Connecticut, but do they have what it takes to care for lions and tigers?
In this delightful tale of adventure and family life on the farm, Clay is in for some lessons on responsibility and wild animal training.
