This is a great addition for readers who enjoyed: Giraffes Can't Dance , by Andreae; Kwame Alexander's  Animal Ark ;  How To Be An Elephant ;  What If Sharks Disappeared; or The Photo Ark by National Geographic. Children will meet many African animals like the  lion, rhinoceros,  and  gorilla  who all have something to tell you.     "The King of the Beasts - that's my claim to fame.       I've got a big crown of hair that's called a mane...."   Readers will also meet the  snow leopard, elephant  and  tiger  in Asia , quetzal  in South America,  panda  and salamander in China, red-crowned amazon and blue karner butterflies, and the pangolin in Australia.

Wednesday, April 11, 2018 Shannon McClintock Miller says, Who Will Roar If I Go? ... A Book For Every Young Researcher ...Some of my best days in the library and classroom were spent helping students connect to the things they were passionate and excited about learning through reading and research. I loved watching them learn something new and take that knowledge to turn it into words, thoughts and great creations they'd share. I was constantly on the look out for wonderful books and opportunities that would spark their curiosity and love for learning. This year I came across one of those books that I just couldn't wait to share with all of you. It is called Who Will Roar If I Go? by... [See the full review at vanmeterlibraryvoice.blogspot.com/2018/04/who-will-roar-if-i-go-book-for-every.html] Review by KidLitExchange [Instagram - RedCanoeReader] This story gently introduces the idea of endangered species and animal extinction through rhyming verse and soft, intriguing watercolor illustrations. It includes thirteen animals from around the world through the touching stories which are charmingly related by the animal's own voices. We learn both the reasons for their threatened existence, as well as how we can help them survive. Some of the animals included are the snow leopard, the elephant, the tiger and the quetzal, but my favorite was the North American Blue Karner butterflies. The illustrations are beautiful and it should be especially meaningful to the children because they might actually see one in their neighborhood! There are so many facets of this book that I really like. The rich vocabulary will prompt discussions as the story is shared, no matter if it is with your little who's curled up in your lap or during a storytime with children, ages 3 - 8. The stories about about what can be done to help the animals survive, provides a good introduction to researching endangered species. The inclusion of the animal's home continents adds a geography lesson to the reading experience. And finally the glossary at the end of the book is especially complete and very helpful. I highly recommend this very special book be added to both public and elementary libraries, as well as to your home bookcase. PSusan 5.0 out of 5 stars- Important Message Presented in a Wonderful WayJuly 31, 2018Format: Kindle EditionWell written in rhyme with lovely watercolor illustrations, "Who Will Roar If I Go?" is a thoughtful look at animals in danger. Paige Jaeger has given a book that is readable for an elementary school level but easy to understand for those younger. Some are well known while others not so much, such as the quetzal. The striking cover and title is an enticement for children to want to open up the pages for more. I especially liked the animals' sincere POVs, their home region given, the glossary at the end, as well as the poetic language used. My kindergarten granddaughter like the illustrations, but also asking questions about the why certain things were happening, such as why elephants would be killed for their tusks? Great book for a school, classroom or personal library. The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.
