“This book has a very touching story. I love how whenever one animal has a problem, they join in as a group and help each other to solve the problem. The main character, Al, has a big heart, he saves animals when they need his help. He uses his time and effort to take care of them one by one. The story really has a lot of meaning behind it. The writer, C J Ma is a wonderful writer, I’m looking forward to his next book!”

“One of the best fiction stories I have read! The morale and plot of the story was one of a kind and unique! Definitely an exciting and well-written book filled with life lessons that I can use in the future. Personally, my favorite character was Slinzy, the monkey because I could relate to him the most. However, all of the characters were great and each had their own unique story and personality. I can see this book becoming a classic and would make a cool movie. A wonderful and beautifully written book that I recommend to readers of all ages!”

I love the charming quality of the story line and of all of the different characters. The animals come to life and resonate with the reader. Truly a good, clean, and family friendly book which shows the value of working together, friendship, respect, and humility. Enjoyed it from cover to cover and intend on reading it again and again.

This is the first time where I perceive a very sentimental warmth of a message written in the book that relates to almost everything in the world. The quote in the book really portrays the title itself. I would recommend this short story to anyone no matter the age, since it reminds you to cherish the world and the components that it comprises of. It’s coincidental for me the time this book was published, since most of the humans now are a bit careless of their surroundings and do not relate back to the consequences the Earth has to suffer.
A pun indeed would summarize the connections as we need more ‘rescuers’ for our planet.Anton K -
This was the best book ever! All the animals had wonderful personalities and Al was so nice. The details were wonderful and every single page was exciting and thrilling. I can’t believe that Tidy and Stu were that evil. Every animal were special in every way and they were described super duper well. The pictures you drew were extremely amazing and fantastic. I bet I can read the book at least 10 more times! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves thrilling and exciting stories.
