REVIEW
Human efforts to rescue endangered animals make for rather compelling stories. Rhino Rescue does not disappoint in this regard. The experiences of rescuing a badly injured monk seal, orphaned tiger cubs, and African White Rhinos make for compelling reading. The amount of work that goes into helping these at-risk animals is amazing as are the people who work so hard to help them. Children who love animals or are considering working in the field of animal rescue will find this book fascinating reading. The sidebars that include additional generic information about the different species as well as the brief facts scattered through out the book provide further interest-catching information. Another winning addition to a great series.
