| Publisher Description: The Zoo Animals' Faraway Dream is a story about living behind bars, told from the perspective of zoo animals. Their experiences and antics are both amusing and tragic. Many believe life will always be the same, but one day a travelling animal appears. This shocks and confuses them, and his presence seems to ignite a 'faraway dream' in the animals' minds - is it just wishful thinking? Arguments abound, so some animals decide it's finally time to take action... "A touching, beautifully written story with a heart-warming cast of zoo characters. The story makes you laugh and sigh, while also urging you to stop and think about the plight of many zoo animals in our world." Sonia Faruqi, author of Project Animal Farm (an award-winning investigation of the truth behind factory farming) and The Oyster Thief This is a story to save caged animals. Information and website links about confined animals in zoos, farms, labs, crates and tanks are included at the back of the book, with suggestions on how readers can help to solve this global tragedy. |
Contributor Bio(s): Newey, Kathryn Rose: - "Having experienced life in both hemispheres of the world, Kathryn Rose Newey is unique amongst children's and teens' authors. Her books cover topics we should be paying more attention to now: the impact of human beings' behaviour and attitudes on the natural environment and animals. An ex-teacher and still involved in education, her stories are often both funny and serious, and almost always incorporate an embedded educational aspect - whether that be eco issues and animal rights, or science, numbers and language - so readers and their parents and teachers will be entertained and inspired at the same time.
