FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2024 — A magical menagerie of mammals and more awaits visitors at the Lincoln Zoo — a special place where “chatty” animals share their private thoughts with an elderly zookeeper, who would do Such is the setting for the wonderfully whimsical, Amazon five-star book from authors Larry Belling and Art Twain, The Lincoln Zoo Rebellion, which immerses young readers in the story of aging zookeeper Reggie Goodenough, who dreams of more land and roomier habitats — better environments for the beloved animals in his care. Reggie is hopeful when newly elected Mayor Ralph Throttlebottom promises to do good things with the zoo, but hides from Reggie that he and his greedy cronies actually want to turn the zoo into an amusement destination — at the expense of the animals.
A rebellion of plucky kids plus the zoo’s wildly intelligent animals band together to find a way to save the zoo. Will it be enough?
Written with tweens and teens in mind, but popular with adults, The Lincoln Zoo Rebelliondeals with today’s important themes of animal rights and preservation in an entertaining and humorous way, making it an engaging read for kids ages 8 to 14 and young-at-heart adults.
The book is earning uproariously good reviews, with a 10-year-old reader calling it, “One of the best books I have read,” and librarian Alice Kaplan commenting, “It will have broad appeal to both boys and girls … I had some good laughs in between holding my breath as the action accelerated.”
“We hope our book gives you a new appreciation of creatures, whether domesticated, in the wild, or in the zoos,” the authors wrote in their book. “After all, we’re related. We’re all animals.”
