Together with his Uncle Sid, a keeper at the zoo, the three go on the run. But while hiding out at the seaside they uncover a top-secret Nazi plot…

It was a great opportunity to talk about the war in a child friendly manner while listening to a great story.

Kids loved it!

My son loved this book. It is extremely well written. It is slso extremely well presented. We loved the different characters and the sound effects. All ir the characters voices were so cool, except Erics. The difficulty with Erics voice is that he did NOT sound like a boy, definitely not a 10 or 11 year old boy. This bothered my son as well (who is 7 and sounds far more mature than Eric did). We still listened to the entire book and loved it but Eric's voice bothered us throughout it.

Personally I preferred Grandpa's Great Escape. I think the boy's voice in that was read by David Williams and he did an excellent job.

Brilliant, Well Written Story
