After reviewing this book, I definitely want to be a conservationist. I am going to take this book to school and share with my class because I think they will like the facts and doing the activities to help save the planet. -- Emaan, age 6 * Kids Book Reviews, Books Up North *
Although the book covers conservationists from across the world, its chief message is that everyone can make a difference, even in a small way - from building bee hotels to putting a bell on the collar of a pet cat. The book is full of examples on how to protect wildlife. * Left on the Shelf *
