The Book that will Awaken my Children

I read this book through the eyes of an elementary school teacher of the gifted. This school year, because of the book, my students will not focus on endangered animals but will celebrate the lives of those animals "rescued from the brink". I want to thank the authors for all the new knowledge that has allowed me to teach with understanding and has given me the tools necessary to awaken my children.

Thanks...Very Happy!

I ordered 4 books to give as presents. They arrived on time and in perfect shape. Thank you so much!
