Revolt of the Animals

Description

Review "Levy captures the grave realities of present day world conflicts while artfully weaving a story of hope - hope for the continuance of life on earth in spite of the humans, and because of the dedicated vigilance of the animals." --Steve Ann Chambers, former president, Animal Legal Defense Fund"David Levy's characterization of the animals is engaging and convincing - maybe our animal associates are going to help us escape self-destruction! --Carolivia Herron, Ph.D., author of the critically acclaimed Nappy Hair and Always an Olivia"Levy's book has the vision and compassion of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH and other great animal fantasies for grownups of every age. With insight and humor it reminds us - and alas, we need reminding - that nuclear and environmental hazards threaten all animals, not just humans." --Jonathan Balcombe, Ph.D., author of Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals and Pleasurable Kingdom"The animals get it. This book shows why. Recommended reading for people of all ages who care about the environment and the planet." --Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, Ph.D., author of The Face on the Plate and When Elephants Weep"Terrorists have hatched plans to start a nuclear war, and only the animal kingdom, led by enterprising elephants, turtles, electric rays, and an odiferous stink bug - to name but a few! - can put a stop to it. In this wild-ride-of-a-fable, the follies of mankind are seen anew through the perceptions and sensibilities of `less sophisticated' creatures of the world." --William Loizeaux, author of Clarence Cochran, a Human Boy and Wings Read more From the Publisher Twenty years in the making, this is the first novel about environmental peril by famed childrens-rights advocate David L. Levy. We are immediately immersed in a world of talking and rationally- thinking animals, and their intricate plot to interrupt man's spiraling descent into nuclear war. In the style of classic animal fantasy, such as Watership Down or Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, we become friends and coconspirators with mammals, birds, and marine life to save the planet from the destruction of man. This short novel is appropriate for children and adults, and is recommended for educational reading lists and as a topic for classroom discussion. Through this simple, elegant story, illustrated by 12 pen-and-ink drawings, we, again, learn the importance and the impact that fables have in teaching ethics and responsibility. This novel is destined to be a classic. Read more See all Editorial Reviews
