“Perfect story-telling. I don't know why I hadn't come across this before. Please get it and share with your children, grandchildren, nursery class, primary school class, children you care for, nieces and nephews.” It’s All About Stories

“A thought-provoking story … Visually, the muted tones and thick brush strokes give it an attractive earthy feel. [Within] the back matter … you'll find some excellent suggestions for projects, activities and conversation starters to support the intended learning outcomes of the story. There's also a section full of animal facts. And another section describing all the successful conservation work that's going into preserving and protecting these animals which I found most uplifting.” Storybook Mama

“Another beautiful book reaching its tenth anniversary, and it's just as poignant now as it was then… his book also features a fab section at the back with animal facts, discussion points and much more! Really great teaching resource for introducing topics such as conservation and climate change… An excellent read for little eco-warriors out there, but all children would benefit from reading a book on this topic.”

This is an absolute delight for the eye. Frann Preston-Gannon transformed this story in a beautiful visual masterpiece. The story is sensitively told, expressing the current environmental concerns we all should be worried about. The final message is one of hope in the future! It ends with some questions, animal facts, good news about our environmental efforts and project ideas!” The Kids’ Bookstagrammer

“A very special book. It holds a very poignant message that is even more important now than it was back 10 years ago at it’s first release… With discussion questions, animal facts, some of the more recent positive news and project ideas included at the back, this is the perfect read to introduce topics of conservation and human impact on the natural world.” Raising Bookworms
