Reviews
Amazing! A wonderfully told animal adventure story where a boy discovers he can communicate with animals but all animals have become extinct except for the pests. He ends up making friends with a bossy cockroach, a wolf-cub, a spoilt cat and a harvest mouse! Can he save the animals? Definitely read this book to find out.
