Great educational read for everyone! July 16, 2008
THE RHINO WITH GLUE-ON SHOES is a fantastic read for people of all ages. The commitment and ingenuity of these zoo professionals is inspiring. I am astonished by the case of the anorexic eel, mortified at the damage done to Earring Boy, and delighted by the story of Tulip, whose owner's devotion and love is a testament to the impact animals have on our lives. Spelman and Mashima have edited a lovely book, which should be read by young, aspiring veterinarians, conservationists, and all animal-lovers.

I should preface this by saying I have helped do some promo for this book - which, as an animal lover, I've been really excited to do! "Rhino" is an engaging read for anyone wanting a view into the lives of zoo and wildlife veterinarians. The stories chronicle surprising and innovative solutions to various animal patient treatment challenges encountered by zoo and wild animal vets' from around the world.
Photographs of many of the actual animals help to connect the reader even more to these special animals. These true animal stories should appeal to any reader with an interest in animals or veterinary work - both adults and younger readers!

This is a wonderful collection of stories that can inspire the youngest aspiring vet, while making even a medical professional smile. These ingenious, dedicated exotic animal doctors deserve our admiration even though their patients can't say "thanks" for themselves.
