"Heartwarming tales of rescued creatures are presented in this collection of vignettes from a large wildlife rehabilitation center."-Booklist. "Her brief stories are often touching, such as when she describes a young raccoon, rescued from a fire, self-medicating its burned paws with aloe vera plants; or two crab-eating macaques, confined inside a research facility for eighteen years, experiencing the outdoors for the first time."-Natural History. "This book deserves a spot on every library shelf along with such nonfiction animal story classics as Adamson's Born Free, North's Rascal, and the work of Jane Goodall."-Appraisal: Science Books for Young People.
