Publisher's Synopsis
Follow ten-year old John and his family on a decade's long journey rescuing, raising, and caring for many kinds of animals from baby birds to tigers. Between acquiring reptiles in the wild, volunteering at a zoo, and working at an animal shelter, John had seen it all. And, it didn't always involve animals. His descriptions of odd friends and troublesome co-workers will make you think twice about which "animal" is more advanced. John tries his best to joke his way through any situation, but soon discovers that even he can't laugh his way out of some things. You will never look at animals or people the same way again.
