“Rebel Girls Animal Allies: 25 Tales of Women Working with Wildlife reminds me of books I used to read when I was younger.
Whilst these books are focused on great women within the care and protection of wildlife, and the creator does focus them for girls obviously? I do truly believe that these books could and should be read by any child regardless of gender. Every child should learn about how the wonderful species that share this planet with us have been protected and sometimes saved from extinction.
The stories about people such as Eugenie Clark who is a marine specialist or Amanda Vincent and Heather Koldewey who both worked hard to protect the beautiful seahorses; are short enough that children can learn a great deal but it's not too much for them. Alongside the information available in the book, Rebel Girls provides QR codes you can scan that provide additional information, which is a wonderful way to maximise technology.
Once again, the artwork is unique and brings the book to life, and fills it with colour. These are great books, suitable for every child who wants to learn about someone new.. and would be great for homework, etcetera.”

“I really liked the short and informative stories in the original Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls books, and the story of Black Mambas being one of my favourites I was immediately interested in this one focusing on women working with and for wildlife.
Compared to the books with no specific topic this felt - though inspiring - rather less epic for me. Those stories usually felt ground-shattering like the promise of our generation that we can change the world, be whoever we want, and can save every cause that seems lost. As this book focuses on a specific topic, the emphasis is now shifted from this superhero vibe to the everyday struggle to make the world a better place.
For me as an adult in her 30's and on the brink of burnout this volume felt more melancholic than I expected.
However, for children I think it can be as inspirational as its predecessors or maybe even more since they can explore a lot of different interesting carrier choices in the field and also have some more realistic expectations about how to live a life making an impact.
It's probably no coincidence that the title of this book doesn't include the phrase 'good night stories' for it's really a guide for children on how to be rebels and change the world even if you don't feel like a superhero.”

“I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for an honest review.
I remember when I was younger I really loved reading about animals and the people who took care of them and worked to make the lives of animals better. I didn't realize how many powerful women were really included in helping animals until I read this book. I really wish a book like this would have existed when I was a kid because it would have really helped me believe in my dreams of helping animals.
The graphics for each woman mentioned was beautifully done.
All young girls who love animals should read this book and see the impact these women have had in helping animals.”
