This story is about a young boy who stutters unless he is talking to animals. He finds that he has a love for big cats, and spends his life working on ways to decrease his stutter and on ways to convince other countries to create preserves for big cats. Recommended for elementary school ages.
Young Alan feels secluded when he is moved from his class to a special help class for his stutter. He feels connected and finds his voice when "talking" to the lone jaguar at the zoo.

The illustrations of his pets threw me. The gerbil looks just like a mouse, and the green turtle is more the shape of a box turtle.
