Genre: Middle Grade, Animals
This is the final book in the series. In this book we find Ivan and his mate Kinyani expecting a baby. They are excited. We are taken through Ivan's thoughts about what it takes to be a good parent. On one hand he things it will be easy. On the other hand he is afraid. Any parent who reads this book could identify with Ivan on the feelings of excitement and fear when dealing with their first child. For Ivan, who ends up the father of twins it is even more emotional. He had a twin who made it from Africa to America, only to die of pneumonia. As his two children hit their terrible twos he is faced with several fears. The biggest fear is that he won't be able to protect his children. Along comes Bob, his dog friend to teach him what a wonderful father he really is.
This was such a wonderful book. It was just as emotional as the other three books in this series. I can't wait to put it on my school shelves and recommend it to students.
