What People Are Saying
Youngsters who are animal lovers are our future. I call them Starlion cubs: Stars because they shine so brightly and cubs because they have lion hearts that are so brave and true, they are prepared to do anything for the animals they love. If you have a Starlion cub as your child, you're the luckiest mom or dad in the world, and this special animal lovers' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is for you.

Alexandra Delis-Abrams' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is certain to become a "primer" for the new generation of children that will be in tune with the animal world around them and thereby experiencing the joy in celebrating their coexistence with them. It will also inspire that generation to honor and revere the breadth of the life force on our planet. We are facing one of humanities greatest challenges as the natural world continues to be degraded. It will be through sensitive and genuine guidance by people like Alexandra that we will prevail.

The need to educate future generations of the human impact on the natural world is of monumental global importance--as well as discovering how we learn to cooperate and live together on this precious planet. After reviewing this meaningful and relevant book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, I see countless ways this can be utilized in the school environment for compassion training and emotional awareness. I applaud Alexandra Delis-Abrams for teaching children how to imagine standing in the shoes of one of these endangered species, as well as how each person's contribution can make a life-changing difference. This is social-emotional-learning at its best and can be appreciated by children and adults worldwide.

My appreciation and kudos to Alexandra Delis-Abrams on her new and unique educational/coloring book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too. As we try to protect the animals that are endangered on our planet for "seven generations," we must start educating this generation now. The wonderful illustrations by Kim Howard and complimentary short stories by Alexandra get the message across to the children and adults that it is respect for the animal kingdom that is so urgently needed today.

First, I like to say congratulations for your book. It is very educational, easy to understand, and I really enjoyed the way each endangered species narrated his natural history, important facts, and threats. Well done! As a biologist, I recognize how important and needed books are like this one! Endangered Species Have Feeling Too brings the readers into the perspective of the different reasons why we have critically endangered animals all around the world. Some of the species you selected were new species for me, so reading your book made me aware of the current status of new species, thanks a lot.
