Delia Akeley and the Monkey: A Human-Animal Story of Captivity, Patriarchy and NatureBy telling this story, Iain McCalman illuminates much about human animal relations and the tyranny of gender inequality. He reinstates a twentieth century story of a dedicated amateur primatologist and her adopted Vervet monkey. On an East African hunting expedition in 1909, Delia Akeley, a forty year old American woman, captured a baby female monkey. Delia's loneliness in an isolating patriarchal world, and her long frustrated desire to adopt a

I would love to see this as an animated tv show
Format: Kindle
This is actually a really good adaptation. The art was adorable and it suited the story really well. I can’t wait to read the next one!

Cute graphic novel version of the original Whatever After novel
Format: Paperback
I read this book after my daughter read it for our mom/daughter book club. We've read several of the Whatever After novel series, but my daughter really enjoys graphic novels, so she was excited to see they are converting the novels into graphic novels. This was my first graphic novel. Fairest of All was cute and followed the storyline of the original novel pretty well, with the pretty illustrations depicting the parts that would normally be written as exposition/narrative. I liked when Abby was telling Snow about the fairy tale she stars in and it would show a cloth backdrop behind them. It's also fun to see how Abby and Jonah (brother and sister) will fix the stories they accidentally mess up.

"Snow White" with a twist!
Format: Paperback
It is such a laugh-out-loud, magical twist on the classic Snow White story that leaves you hooked! It is filled with hilarious moments, such as Abby and her little brother Jonah accidentally crashing into Snow White’s fairy tale through a magic mirror and their hilarious attempts to fix things, which turn the story upside down in the best way. The writing is clever, fast-paced, and filled with quirky humor, making every page a joy. Once you start, you won’t want to stop!
