<p>There is something special about Tommy Smith&mdash;everywhere he goes, animals talk to him! On a family vacation to London, Tommy goes to visit the zoo, and discovers that the lions, penguins, ostriches, bears, boars and other animals are very willing to come forward and tell him about themselves. Tommy&#39;s natural curiosity guides each conversation with questions, and by the end he has learned about the things the animals eat and how they live. This imaginative presentation of animal behavior is as informative as it is fun to read.</p>
