 | I read this over and over rating: 4
There are several appealing qualities to this story - animals, children who don't always agree or get along with each other, a secret conspiracy that would fall apart if the parents found out, a bully that is ingeniously bested. I loved this book as a preteen and still read it through high school.

A Childhood Favorite rating: 5
As a child, I read this book over and over again, as it totally appealed to my desire to have my own menagerie of animals. I'm so excited to find it again to share with my own children, as my copy was completely worn out. I wholeheartedly agree that this book is a "lost treasure."
