Recenzii

"There’s no way a book this adorable will stay on the shelves, which is fitting considering it’s about animals on the move—disabled animals to be exact...Numerous STEM connections, from the prosthetics’ designs, the shared advances between veterinary and human medicine, and a page devoted to low-tech solutions, such as PVC-pipe walkers and a skateboard-scooting tortoise. Inspiring and heartwarming."  —Booklist   "This book is sure to appeal to animal lovers and future veterinarians. A must-have for nonfiction shelves." –School Library Journal   “…Entertaining and enlightening to read.” –Kirkus
