Book Reviews of Owen & Mzee: Language Of Friendship
Book Review: A Unique Friendship Among Animals
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has wide appeal, although probably aimed at children. As a retiree, I enjoyed the descriptions of the 130 year old tortoise and the young hippo. This carries the story of their meeting and bonding, but also carries it further telling how they developed their own ways of communicating.
The photos include a full-page and a smaller picture on each two-page spread. The text is good sized (for children, but also older eyes) and each page has ample white space.
A lovely book that will appeal to any animal lover. At the end of the book are pages with information about Kenya, the park where the animals live, and the tsunami of 2004 which brought the animals together.
