The text is clear and direct, with just enough expression to sell the story, but not so much as to make it terrifying for the little ones. The vocabulary is ideal for sharing with young book fans, or for those who are learning to read for themselves. The plot is the whole point of the book, but if ''Help Me!'' were to be a much-loved favourite, read time and time again, it could have done with being developed a little further. Fanatical animal lovers will devour it, but everyone else might prefer to borrow it from the library instead. Worth a look.

There are other beautiful animal pictures in [[Animal Gallery by Brian Wildsmith]]. For a more light-hearted look at African animals, check out [[Marvin's Funny Dance by Sarah McConnell]]. [[My Animals by Xavier Deneux]] takes a less realistic view of animals, but it's an utterly gorgeous book.
