This is one of the best animal books I've read in a long time. It's a wonderful story about a serval (Moto) in the wild, who needs help. Beautifully written and full of photos, this is a perfect read for elementary children. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone!

Super cute story of a serval cat rescued and raised and later released into the wild. Photos are adorable! Good addition to a collection I think.

The author, a wildlife photographer, fosters an orphaned African serval kitten she calls Moto from the time he is 2 weeks old until he is able to survive independently. Beautiful photographs, a fascinating narrative, and an addendum about the serval cats will make this book appealing to animal lovers of all ages.

Moto! I loved this book, which is more personal than a number of Eszterhas's other lovely animal photography books for children. Moto, whose name means 'fire' in Swahili, is a rescued Serval that Eszterhas fostered for 9 months in the Masai Mara in Kenya. Her wonderful relationship with the Serval kitten is documented in beautiful photographs. Her successful restoration of him to the wild is an important lesson for younger children about proper care for wildlife rescues. A delightful book!
