School Library Journal - 04/01/2024 Gr 3–5—Wildlife researchers, bionics experts, and other scientists use their skills to help animals in a variety of ways covered in these titles. Whether young readers are interested in ocean life, pets, or endangered species, they will be inspired by the amazing developments in each field. Plentiful photographs show drones that can tag ocean life, wildlife crossings over busy roadways, and satellites used to count animal populations. Sidebars take a "Deep Dive" into specific topics such as 3-D printers used to create bionic limbs for animals or "Spotlight" companies designing helpful software. Each book ends with a "Save the Day" question encouraging students to reflect on what they have read. VERDICT Highly engaging, an excellent addition to library collections and just right for those readers who always asks for more animal books. - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
