This Editorial Review . is brought to you by the great folks at Outstanding Creator Awards The Great Animal Escape by Linda Harkey is one of those adorable little reminders that books don't have to be overly serious or have big, grand, awe-inspiring messages to be entertaining and enjoyable. They can just be simple, short, sweet, and. FUN We had such a great time reading The Great Animal Escape because of the adorable, goofy animal characters and the self-aware humor. We shared a lot of smiles, chuckles, and laughs. This book stars an ensemble cast of animal characters including: Bernie, a blue baby raven who is both adventurous and clumsyBlue Moon, a rumor-spreading and scatterbrained, sombrero-wearing Chihuahuan raven from Mexico who keeps migrating back and forth, presumably because she keeps forgetting where she made her nestGracie, a wild donkey, often referred to as a burro. Gracie was probably our favorite character. She was so helpful and useful throughout the book, especially in dealing with Huntress. What's more is that she really doesn't have much of an incentive to help the others beside just being a great person and wanting some adventure.Lova-Bull & Mud Pie, a cute cow couple who escape a trip to Cowlick Cooking School-- what's implied to be a slaughter house, though it's never explicitly shown or statedWhat's great about this book is that, despite its short length, every single character has a moment to shine, either to accomplish something on their own or contribute toward the common goal of helping the cows to escape. A lot of them also have humorous moments like when Bernie trips and falls on the worm and into cow poop. Even moments that would otherwise be tense or scary like a thunder storm, a large truck heading their way, and a mountain lion attack are mellowed out by the humor. For example, rather than running for cover and being scared of the wind, rain, lightning, and thunder, the animals seems to embrace it and celebrate the coolness of experiencing something knew. They even seem jovial about it There's a whole page of the animals celebrating, jumping, and dancing together after one of the lightning bolts sets a tree on fire. It's hilarious It reminds us of the meme of the little girl smiling in front of the house fire. It's comedy gold It's especially hilarious considering that the animals are supposed to be undertaking the serious task of not becoming tomorrow's breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner, however, they are easily sidetracked and distracted like little kids. We actually loved that It really diffused the tension and made it fun and enjoyable, especially for kids. Also, in the middle of all of this-fleeing from death and danger-the cows still remind each other that they need to eat 20 pounds of grass per day and take a cow nap. There's . a scene in which a giant truck is heading toward the animals, threatening to turn them into roadkill. However, Lova-Bull, being brave, courageous, big, strong, and a bit silly, decides to charge right at it instead of running away The driver of the truck reacts the same way a lot of us would respond to a wild animal charging at our vehicle, indicating that their intentions weren't necessarily malicious. The truck isn't called a vehicle but rather a four-wheeled, two-eyed monster. Now, there are a few villains/antagonists in this book who add a little spice and flavor to it. There are the Two Legged People (presumably farmers, cowboys, and ranchers) who seem to want to process the cows for meat. There's also Huntress, a mama mountain lion who stalks and ambushes our brave animal heroes in an attempt to eat them and provide them as food for her starving children. Even though she's trying to kill/eat the other characters, the back-and-forth banter and humor really makes you think that there's not much.…

The Great Animal Escape by Linda Harkey is one of those adorable little reminders that books don't have to be overly serious or have big, grand, awe-inspiring messages to be entertaining and enjoyable. They can just be simple, short, sweet, and... FUN!
We had such a great time reading The Great Animal Escape because of the adorable, goofy animal characters and the self-aware humor. We shared a lot of smiles, chuckles, and laughs.
This book stars an ensemble cast of animal characters including:
- Bernie, a blue baby raven who is both adventurous and clumsy
- Blue Moon, a rumor-spreading and scatterbrained, sombrero-wearing Chihuahuan raven from Mexico who keeps migrating back and forth, presumably because she keeps forgetting where she made her nest
- Gracie, a wild donkey, often referred to as a “burro.” Gracie was probably our favorite character. She was so helpful and useful throughout the book, especially in dealing with Huntress. What's more is that she really doesn't have much of an incentive to help the others beside just being a great person and wanting some adventure.
- Lova-Bull & Mud Pie, a cute cow couple who escape a trip to “Cowlick Cooking School”-- what's implied to be a slaughter house, though it's never explicitly shown or stated
Even moments that would otherwise be tense or scary like a thunder storm, a large truck heading their way, and a mountain lion attack are mellowed out by the humor. For example, rather than running for cover and being scared of the wind, rain, lightning, and thunder, the animals seems to embrace it and celebrate the coolness of experiencing something knew. They even seem jovial about it! There's a whole page of the animals celebrating, jumping, and dancing together after one of the lightning bolts sets a tree on fire. It's hilarious! It reminds us of the meme of the little girl smiling in front of the house fire. It's comedy gold!
It's especially hilarious considering that the animals are supposed to be undertaking the serious task of not becoming tomorrow's breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner, however, they are easily sidetracked and distracted like little kids. We actually loved that! It really diffused the tension and made it fun and enjoyable, especially for kids. Also, in the middle of all of this—fleeing from death and danger—the cows still remind each other that they need to eat 20 pounds of grass per day and take a “cow nap.”
There's ... a scene in which a giant truck is heading toward the animals, threatening to turn them into roadkill. However, Lova-Bull, being brave, courageous, big, strong, and a bit silly, decides to charge right at it instead of running away! The driver of the truck reacts the same way a lot of us would respond to a wild animal charging at our vehicle, indicating that their intentions weren't necessarily malicious. The truck isn't called a “vehicle” but rather a “four-wheeled, two-eyed monster.”
Now, there are a few villains/antagonists in this book who add a little spice and flavor to it.

Even though she's trying to kill/eat the other characters, the back-and-forth banter and humor really makes you think that there's not much to worry about.
