"I read another book from this series at the end of last year which impressed me to the core. I think that would be the best way to read them. We first must understand what we lost to appreciate what we still have. This encyclopedia contains information and illustrations for about 40 species of endangered animals. It's professionally researched and explained beautifully." —Diana Livesay, Reviewer"This is a coffee table book for the teenage set. It is large, hard bound, and populated by beautiful illustrations and informative write-ups of endangered animals. These animals are fascinating to learn about. This is a book that would make a doctor or dentist office more enjoyable, and it is one that would be at home in school and public libraries. Spread the word that our actions hurt other creatures of this world." —Children's Literature
