Becky B's Reviews > Animal at Large

As Tori prepares for her cousin Sumiko's visit from Japan, she hears strange sounds from her backyard and notices missing animal signs...but the sign is torn. Which animal is missing, and can she and her cousin help find it?

These Mysteries on Zoo Lane have large font, include several illustrations, and keep the mysteries fairly easy for youngsters to solve. I like the multicultural feel of the community (Japanese American, Hispanic American, Black, Polish American, etc.). Kids will like the animal facts woven in as the characters wander around the back of the zoo.
