Review :
"Plum returns for another adventure at the Athensville Zoo, along with some craftily conveyed life lessons. . . . Subtle humor and snappy repartee distinguish this book. Short chapters speed by as the tension builds. . . . Could it be that sometimes it's better to embrace change than to angst over it? . . . A lively tale with an important warning: Worrying is often wasted on things that won't happen." -- Kirkus Reviews "The writing is warm and witty, and short chapters keep the pace moving; in addition, Phelan's characteristic black-and-white illustrations are buoyant and lively. A must-have conclusion to a winning series." -- School Library Journal
