Gone Wild by David McLimans


Reviewed by Miss Dewey at Orenda

Five paw prints! This book is an alphabet book about endangered species. No, it’s really about endangered species told using the alphabet. No, it’s really an art book using the alphabet. Or, is it really an art book showcasing animals? I’m not sure what type of book this really is but I do know Gone Wild is just an incredible book. Every letter of the alphabet is represented by an endangered animal and the letter is in the shape of the animal. In addition the reader learns information like where the animal currently lives and why it is endangered. This is a wonderful way to introduce endangered animals to children and will lead to more research of these animals. And if these animals are lucky, children will want to help animals so they always have a safe place to live. To learn more about helping animals visit http://www.bronxzoo.com/help-wildlife.aspx .
