It encourages children to reach out and take a stand for something greater than themselves. It shows them that their actions can make a difference. It explains about sanctuary life and why sanctuaries are the best option for captive chimpanzees. It ends on a positive note by showing the reader that chimps can live in a sanctuary with their chimpanzee friends with dignity and with an enriched and understanding environment provided for them by humans. The book ends with Hoot thanking the children for their help. Vocabulary words and web sites add to the educational value of the book.

In Confidence

9 MONTHS LATER Another wonderfully emotional story by award-winning author Karen Young. A winner! A marriage of convenience… It made perfect sense. Or so Dr. Talbot Robichaux told Dr. Stephanie Sheldon. Since both had busy hospital practices, their baby would be much better off—and their own lives much easier—if they shared parental duties. Stephanie couldn't fault Tal's logic, but his thirteen-year-old daughter could. Not only was her father marrying some woman she'd never met, but now she was going to have to share his attention with a baby! Stephanie sympathized with the girl, who had no way of knowing the marriage was only temporary. Or was it? Living with Tal, sharing his life and catching the special glances he gave her, Stephanie couldn't help wishing that "temporary" would become "permanent"!
