From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- A former field biologist describes his successful rescue of three mountain lion cubs in Colorado. Farentinos tells in a matter-of-fact style how the cubs became orphaned when a farmer shot their mother, and how he tracked them. The middle section of the book consists of his lengthy, but compelling dream in which readers enter the world of the young mountain lions as they witness their mother's death and struggle to survive alone and unprotected. There is a poor transition between the first-person narrative and this dream sequence, and it is sure to confuse children. In the closing section, the author recounts how he at last captured the cubs, spent an exciting night with them in his home, and then turned them over to a wildlife rehabilitation center. Arranged in a picture-book format with lovely colorful illustrations and pen-and-ink sketches, this offering will attract younger readers. However, the lengthy text is not broken down into chapters, making it difficult to read aloud, and the vocabulary is too difficult for primary graders. Older children are likely to be turned off by the format. --Barbara B. Murphy, Shaler Area School District Libraries, Pittsburgh
