The call to action--'we'll ask you for your mighty roar, to show us we are worth fighting for'--is aided considerably by the warm, stirring artwork, which invites children to reflect on the human causes of wildlife extinction and encourages them to work together for a better future.---ALA Booklist (starred review)n
