Real live penguins, and great people working to save them. What more can you ask for?
The Great Penguin Rescue: Saving the African Penguins by Susan Markle
African penguins have been on the decline for several centuries.
Sandra Markle explains how and why that happened, and what people are now doing
to try and bring these penguins’ numbers back up.
- Penguins! Hand this to penguin lovers like me. They will likely give you a hug and then coo at the cute penguins.
- Great design and writing make the text easy to follow amongst all the pictures, and engaging to read.
- Fantastic penguin action shot photos throughout!
- Lots to learn about the decline in the African penguin population.
- Scientific method & try, try again in real life. There were several intervention methods they tried, that looked good, but didn't work. What has been working is surprisingly simple.
- Inspirational people caring for penguins in the past and present.
- Great read for those interested in the environment and animal habitats.
- An engaging nonfiction read for elementary or middle school.
- And of course, hand it to those animal lovers who can’t get enough penguins in their lives.
I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in
exchange for an honest review.
