It sort of reminds me of Flipper done on land, or Lassie set in in Australia. I was entranced with animal heroes as a kid...<br /><br />But I was also amazed that someone commented that they'd they'd watched it every Sunday morning in Michigan...so now I wonder if it was on here in the US and I missed it somehow. <br /><br />After all of that, I hope if you get around to the book that you like it.NancyOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027036137062767840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258224106731736323.post-14447123723796284662010-09-14T03:24:48.972-04:002010-09-14T03:24:48.972-04:00Great review NancyO!
