Rachel can't imagine why Bucky Greene, a scientist friend of her father's who's developing genetically engineered bananas, would show up at their New York City apartment in the middle of the night to leave a baby chimpanzee with them for a week -- or why they absolutely, positively can't tell anyone about it. What could possibly be "top secret" about an adorable chimp like Friday? Rachel hasn't a clue, but when Friday turns out to be really, inexplicably intelligent (Rubik's Cube's a snap) -- and Bucky Greene turns up really, inexplicably dead (he slipped on his own banana peel) -- she suspects serious monkey business afoot. And when chimp-nappers step into the picture, getting to the bottom of Friday's "top secret" before it's too late becomes a delightfully madcap mystery -- with Rachel in a riotous, nonstop race for survival of the fittest. Written by four-time Emmy-nominated writer and acclaimed humorist Hester Mundis, who raised a chimp of her own in her Manhattan apartment, this is a wonderfully funny -- and heartfelt -- novel about endangered species, corporate espionage, and going bananas in more ways than one.
In this practical and informative guide, Jack Hanna introduces you to pet basics and a pet's inestimable value in your life. Through a series of questions he helps you establish what type of pet would be best suited to your personal preferences, lifestyle, time, energy, and other resources. He then goes on to discuss every type of pet imaginable - from the common to the not-so-common. In chapters devoted to each type of pet, he discusses, breed by breed, the pros and cons and the needs and requirements of each particular animal. He explains why a household of kids might not be the best environment for a cockatoo, and why a Scottish deerhound could be an excellent addition to your home. Throughout, he includes little-known facts about animals and recounts some of his entertaining experiences with them. More than a reference guide, Jack Hanna's Ultimate Guide to Pets provides information on general health care, diet, and housing, on socialization needs and compatible roommates, and on solutions to common (and uncommon) pet problems."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
