Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4–This book includes chapters on dinosaurs, birds, and mammals that are extinct, followed by a section explaining why other species like whooping cranes, Tasmanian devils, and piping plovers are endangered. The scientific information is clear and interesting. For example, a discussion of why dinosaurs became extinct includes four different theories in a straightforward manner. The bright cartoons add interest and appeal to the text. The author also includes short verses that are forced and ineffective. For example, "Dodos lived near Madagascar./Your mom may not know where that is,/so you'd better not ask her!" A manatee is described in the following way: "The manatee has a squishy snout/And big, fat flippers to paddle about./Though it isn't pretty to you or me,/It is to another manatee." Unfortunately, these lame attempts at humor trivialize the important topic.–Rebecca Sheridan, Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA
