What An Animal Reading Challenge discussion

I'm excited to add this challenge to my 2021 reading plans. :)

I have read two books by Betty Webb from her Gunn Zoo series this month: The Anteater of Death, and The Koala of Death.

For those unfamiliar: the series features a zookeeper, Teddy Bentley, who ends up solving murders connected to the zoo. Facts about the animals - who are often mentioned and are essentially costars - are included in mostly-seamless ways. An enjoyable series to read.

I'm behind in posting book titles, but here's what I've read that fits this Challenge since January:

The Llama of Death, Betty Webb
The Otter of Death, Betty Webb
Hanging Falls, Margaret Mizushima
Dorothy Claes and the Prowl of the Yule Cat, C. P. Morgan
Dorothy Claes and the Prison of Thenemi, C. P. Morgan
Miss Benson's Beetle, Rachel Joyce

I HIGHLY recommend Mizushima's Timber Creek K-9 Mystery series.
