“The Adventures of Don and the White Animals” by Meir Eshel is a very smart children's book. I say so because at no stage does the writer try to dumb it down. Children who are curious, inquisitive about the world and intelligent will simply adore the story of little Don, his affinity for animals and his extraordinary ability to communicate with them.I bought this book as a reward for my 8-year old niece for having done brilliantly at a math test at school. We had a lot of fun reading it together, and loved the entire White family – Mom, Dad, Dana, Daniel and of course, the adorable Don.The way the White family handles Don and his special relationship with animals is simply outstanding. One may imagine the severe stress little Don puts them through, but at no point does this lessen their love and affection for him.A great book that teaches excellent values to children, such as the importance of your family, caring for animals, being kind to every living creature. Plus, this book is great fun!
