A Pocketful of Books https: //www.apocketfulofbooks.com/our_blog "This book was so exciting and interesting to explore. It has amazing illustrations and I really love how each page features a different endangered species with key information and facts about the species and the work being done to try and save them. The environmental issues facing our planet are a really important issue to me so I think this is a wonderful book for any child's bookshelf. It's amazing for helping kids from about age 6 and up to understand the importance of all the different species on the planet and the impact that we as humans are having on them and their habitats. This book has brilliant illustrations, a helpful glossary at the back, and really accessible information. It's a super book to dip in and out of and to come back to again and again." The Reading Zone https: //www.readingzone.com/books/100-endangered-species/ "100 Endangered Species has the cute appeal of a gift book but an admirably serious purpose. Focusing on a hundred species that appear on the IUCN Red List, it aims to highlight their uniqueness, their plight and the efforts that are being made to conserve them. The graphic illustrations capture the spirit of the animals in a personal way and are accompanied by some fascinating facts that make it fun to browse through" The Tiny Activists https: //thetinyactivist.com/scientific-september-roundup/ "This would be a super handy reference material in a classroom. Or, if you happen to reside with a tiny professor, perhaps a bedtime story." Wrd About Books Magazine "A beautifully illustrated book featuring 100 endangered species that NEED our help to stop them from becoming extinct. Each entry details their habitat, where in the world they live, their threats and how endangered they are, followed by a full character description and what wildlife experts and local are trying to do to save their lives for years to come." Red Reading Hub https: //redreadinghub.blog/2021/05/24/100-endangered-species "Give this book to a child and who knows, you might inspire a life-long passion for conservation." @booksb4bedtime Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CVxg0t5KAfj/ ""The illustrations in the book are stunning and the package itself the perfect gift for any child (or adult) interested in protecting and learning about these 100 species which we should be protecting and not endangering. Despite its petite size (not extent) it packs a punch and both the exterior and interior would mean it is one that would sit on my kid's coffee table." @conservationoptimism Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CRWXdjaqxc6/ "A beautifully creative approach to educating and inspiring children about the plight of the natural world, as well as celebrating threatened species and the people who are protecting them." @bookishwaytoplay Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CR6u2NnMJm2/ "100 Endangered Species by @rhudsonillustration is a little book that packs a BIG punch! This brilliant introductory collection of 100 animals that are in danger is a powerful reminder of how fragile the planet is. The little book is packed with interesting creatures, succinct text, maps, charts and little snippets on what we can do to help. The design of the book is engaging and the repeating layout makes it easy for children to navigate the page. But it is the illustrations that sing. Rachel hasn't been afraid to leave white space, or place a piece of art in the corner of a page. It makes the animals stand out starkly against their backdrop, letting them impart their message with courage and simplicity. I love it!" @betweenthecoversofagoodbook Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CS-sd7AvpDX/ "My children always love information books that have interesting and unusual facts, but especially books that they can read a bit at a time and return to again and again and again. I love that this is educating both teacher and students on the very real issue of endangered animals. This book set out with that ambition, it aims to highlight 100 endangered species from around the world, but also to focus on the work being done to preserve them. This is a hook of urgency, but not one without hope." @this_sonny_day Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CSyTYW7sCyP/ "If you want a book that has bold and beautiful illustrations, is jam packed with facts and information and is for all the family then this is for you! This book is also enlightening as I was quite shocked at some of the endangered animals on the list and how little time some of them have left! @because.my.mother.read Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CS66XAULCPz/ "A fun little size and has a page for each species packed with information about the animals and what can be done to help them." @mylittlebrightsparks Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CT2cNRvsYCa/ "This mini book is packed full of information about #100endangeredanimals.

It features 100 endangered species from around the world and highlights the efforts being made to save them... Stunning illustrations set against a plain white background are stark and powerful.
