Happy Stories for Animal Lovers - Leisa Stewart-Sharpe

Kids will love these incredible stories of people coming together to understand and protect the animals who share our precious planet. From outstanding conservation efforts to wholesome community projects, this is a cheerful compendium of true animal conservation stories from around the world.

Stories include:

• The Wildebeest Wander – the yearly wildebeest migration and the efforts of the Maasai community to create a wildlife corridor.
• The Jungle Jewel – the rare Javan rhino and the rangers who watch over and protect it.
• Flying Back From Extinction – the reintroduction of the Northern Bald Ibis to Europe and the human ‘foster mothers’ who help raise these rare chicks.
• Disco in the Deep – how scientists discovered the White Shark Café – an underwater oasis of life.
• Friends in Frozen Places – the tale of Nordet, the speckled narwhal adopted by a pod of beluga whales, and the scientists watching out for a naluga baby.
• Eat, Eat, Repeat – the tale of the Giant Panda’s unusual courting habits, and the inspiring breeding programme

The What You Can Do section at the back of the book lets children know how the choices they make can help change the world, with information on building a bug hotel, becoming a wildlife watcher, working together and using their voices to raise awareness.
