5.0 out of 5 stars
Yes, We Will Miss Them!,
By M. Crouch (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Will We Miss Them?: Endangered Species (Reading Rainbow Book) (School & Library Binding)
I read this book for the first time in my English Block in college. I read this book and I was amazed that a sixth grader could compose something so wonderful and informative. It really enlightens students to know that there are authors that are their ages. It is on a level that students can understand. Furthermore (I think)this book can be used beyond the middle schools and into higher education to let others know what's going on in nature.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Will We Miss Them? Endangered Species (Nature's Treasures) (Hardcover)
This was a great book. My class loved that it was written by an 11 year old girl. It was very informative on the species.
