Book Reviews of Owen & Mzee: Language Of Friendship
Book Review: All ages will find it difficult to pass up.
Summary: 5 Stars
I heard of this story and sought out the first book for my elementary school daughter. I ended up buying it more for me. It was very good. I was cautiously excited about another more detailed book. I found it even better than the first.
The photography is beautiful on it's own. The story is well written and interesting for all ages. The information shared is just what we all want to know: How do two such different animals enjoy each other so much? Is it possible for them to truly love each other? How do they know?
At the end of the book is information about Kenya, interesting and pertinent information about hippos and tortoises and their habitats, the park in which they live and the information about the Tsunami which brought them together. This information would make a great unit study start and would make a viable report.
If read to a preschooler, it would be fantastic, if read by an adult, it's just as enjoyable as it is taken in at a deeper level. My friends walk past the coffee table, pick it up and can't put it down. I'll keep it in mind as a gift for those whom I find difficult to buy gifts.
This is an heirloom for us. I can't imagine a better account of this remarkable story.
