'Although the book covers conservationists from across the world, its chief message is that everyone can make a difference, even in a small way - from building bee hotels to putting a bell on the collar of a pet cat. The book is full of examples on how to protect wildlife.' Left on the Shelf

'I love how the author and illustrator have been able to capture the true relevance of these otherwise anonymous individuals’ actions and missions, onto informative, detailed, vibrant and engaging double-page spreads. […] Ideal from Lower KS2 through to KS3, this book should be on the shelves of every school or classroom library.' Just Imagine

'Beautifully illustrated throughout, each double-page spread absolutely packs a punch with the amount of information presented whilst still being accessible and easy to read. […] This book is sure to be a hit with both animal-lovers and budding environmentalists alike, but everyone will undoubtedly find out something fascinating that they didn't know before reading.'
