On his trip to the zoo, Bobby Brewster finds that he can talk with the animals---once he has winked at them that is. So he is able to tell the keeper why Leo the lion is off his food: Leo it seems wants a feast fit for a king all served up on silver platters. Certainly not up to the standard of The Sick Cow. But Val Biro's amusingly drawn animals and humans undoubtedly draw children to what I feel is a mediocre story.
