Title: Tender Book
Review: I found this book years ago as a Reader's Digest condensed book and had to special order the hardcover because it was out of print. No small feat as this was before the internet amazon.com! I lent my precious copy to someone and it disappeared. I was distraught. Several years later, while in a thrift store I found not one but three copies for one dollar each. Bought them all. One to keep, two to lend. Guess how many I have left? Only the one I refuse to lend out! This is an amazing book and I wish it was still in print. Absolutely an amazing story about the "humanity" in animals and the Helfer family who rescued the lion cub from the hunter, the abused elephant from the circus, and a black stallion from certain death. Toni's induction into Ralph's world of animals was hilarious, scary, and touching.
