Goodbye Steve!

This is a great book if you are a fan of Steve Irwin. It give wonderful details about his life and family which is what I wanted in a book about him. Great reading.

Wonderful!

I bought this book for my son to use for a book report on Steve Irwin, and he has thoroughly enjoyed it. He told me that it took a long time to take notes on it because he was having such a great time reading it. What a wonderful thing that is! I haven't read all of it myself, but my son wanted me to read what Steve's daughter Bindi said at his funeral service. I did, and I couldn't keep from crying. It was so sweet.

Worthy of its subject

Steve Irwin was a dedicated and thoroughly down to earth wildlife conservationist. He believed in what he did and he had a heart full of love and a healthy attitude towards life. Steve Irwin: The Incredible Life of the Crocodile Hunter thoroughly explores Steve's amazing life, from his childhood antics through to his adult relationships - including his wife Terry and their family. There are wonderful photos thru-out. Anyone who loved Steve, will enjoy having this book. Steve, you are missed. But the work you believed in goes on. Thank you. Pam Dupre

A Vintage Tribute To A Warrior For Animals

The charismatic and highly animated Steve Irwin was compassion in action for the wildlife kindom. He revered all creatures great and small. His entertaining and captivating television specials were vital for alluring countless thousands of young viewers to learn to apprecaite nature and animal species. He interacted with crocodiles, snakes and dangerous animals to showcase that these species were vital to ecosystems and habitats. Steve Irwin did not kill animals. He was a warrior on behalf of wildlife. He was accidentally killed by a stingray. The latter are majestic and peaceful creatures. Steve Irwin would denounce any malcontent person who would mutilate and kill an innocent stingray. Thank God that Steve Irwin's wife and incredible daughter continue his campaign and advocacy on behalf of the animal kingdom.
