I have used this book throughout this unit, in this book I understand more things about the endangered species. I also understand many things in this book. I really recommend this book to other people because after I read this book I feel that animals are really important to us. I recommend this book for the people who thinks that animals aren't important because after you finish reading this book, you will have a whole new different point of view. Inside this book, they will give you a list of the endangered species and then when you look at it, you will feel like we have to do something to save the animals right now.
