Play and stay at the Animal Inn, a brand-new chapter book series where the fur—and fun—flies at an animal spa and hotel.
The Animal Inn is an all-inclusive pet resort/hotel/center/spa for animals from dogs to rabbits, cats to ducks, parrots to lizards. From doggie and kitty daycare, to grooming, and group play—you name it, and the Animal Inn has it.
The Inn is run by the Tyler family along with their pets Leopold, the Macaw; Fuzzy and Furry, the gerbils; dogs Dash and Coco; felines Shadow and Whiskers; and a rollicking horde of animal visitors.
When the animals hear that a new boarder—a Komodo Dragon—will be coming to the Inn, they panic! Is it a fire-breathing dragon? Will it gobble them all up and then devour their family? What’s to become of the Animal Inn?
From School Library Journal Gr 2–4—A scarlet macaw named Leopold Augustus Gonzalo Tyler relates the chronicles of Animal Inn (a pet hotel, school, and spa) as its residents prepare for the arrival of a special guest. Some speculate it will breathe fire, some are afraid they may be eaten, and others expect the special guest will have toxic spit. Once quarters are prepared in the basement and three handlers arrive, the creatures of Animal Inn meet a sick and lonely Komodo dragon. But just as soon as "Miss KD" tells her story of capture and confinement, the plot fast-forwards to her departure to a new home, leaving the creatures with very different feelings. VERDICT While some advanced chapter book readers may find redeeming qualities in the interactions of the characters, even the most devoted animal lovers will be less than satisfied by the uneven pacing, forgettable characters, and dull dialogue.—Lindsay Persohn, University of South Florida, Tampa
