 Ralph Helfer is one of the great animal behaviorists, living half the year in Africa, the other half in the U.S.  He pioneered a method of animal training he calls “affection training”, which has allowed him to be close to and enjoy working with elephants, bears, big cats, especially lions, and most especially Zamba, a male lion you have often seen in Hollywood films, although he was born wild.  This is a book about this man’s unique relationship with a very special cat.  Dip into it for a purring good read!  (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2007-2008)
