The Pride of Baghdad

I forget the authors and illustrators of this book, but the story is of a group of lions that escape from the zoo in the area of attack and the troubles that they go through until they are finally shot by the soldiers.
The story was an interesting viewpoint and the graphics were beautifully drawn and conceived. Any story can only be understood if the characters have been anthropomorphized, especially if the story is about animals. We tend to put human tendencies to non-human things and make them think like us - which is interesting but I don't know how much true that is. Do animals truly think like us? That's another topic of discussion, but as far as this book goes, it was interesting to see what happens. Worth a read.
