No offense to the author, whom I think would be a great person to have a cupa with, but there are SO many big reaching ideas in this book. It's a little 1984, Animal Farm and Disney's Lady and the Tramp. My kids...9, 7...just wouldn't pay attention for the read aloud. I liked the concept...a too-plugged in world watching you. And I LOVED the idea of animals communicating...there are also some overarching animal rights concepts here which I found thought provoking. But...eh. Though language isn't the only indicator of a good work...Hemmingway certainly isn't considered to be a user of big words...I felt this book needed a boost. Either it's a kid's book for kids or it's an adult book. This is neither.
