Review
This coyote pup is aptly named. Trouble's curiosity sends him on an unexpected adventure to Central Park in NYC. Trouble makes several friends there including a crow, an opossum, an owl, a fox, and a poodle. He is pursued by an animal control officer which provides action and suspense to the story. The conversations between the animals are fun and interesting. The author includes facts at the end of the book about coyotes, crows, and opossums. The author also points out that coyotes have been spotted in Central Park. They can be found in every type of environment. Young wildlife lovers, as well as anyone who enjoys a good story filled with adventure, will enjoy this engaging novel. Recommended for grades 3-5.
Overall Book Score: very good
