This book looks like a lot of fun---great cover, too. I think that's kind of how I start out some days. Thanks for sharing the review---and for the blog post on the challenge itself.

I'm especially intrigued about this title -- haven't heard of it before, and it bears a little resemblance to my new MG novel coming in October called DON'T FEED THE BOY, about a boy who lives at the zoo (mom is zoo director and dad is elephant keeper) and wishes he didn't. My book also including a lot of animal facts, but is really about friendship and belonging (no mystery to solve). Good to know about BELLY UP.
