Pro Reviews: Owen & Mzee
Remarkable' seems too tame a word for this memorable book...The unadorned text allows the facts themselves to move readers, making clear how the improbable bond between the now inseparable mammal and reptile has helped resilient Owen recover from his traumatic ordeal.
[G]racefully told...[with] gorgeous photos....
Publisher Notes: Owen & Mzee
- A photographic odyssey into the heartwarming kinship between a baby hippopotamus--orphaned by the catastrophic, post-Christmas 2004 tsunami--and an ancient tortoise in Kenya is told by six-year-old Isabella Hatkoff with the help of her father. Owen the hippo (named after his savior) immediately latched onto Mzee (a 130-year-old Aldabra tortoise originally from a tiny island near Madagascar) upon arrival at Haller Park in Mombosa, and the two haven't been separate since. After exploring the backgrounds of both animals, Isabella puzzles over the unique bond between the two. Accompanied by clear, crisp full-color photographs. A 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year. A 2006 New York Times Notable Book.
