These questions provide the opportunity for Grades 3-4 students to look more deeply into issues and identify relationships as well as brainstorm ways in which humans can make a difference in protecting our endangered resources.-- "NSTA Recommends"
...these issues are important, and even if these introductions are stronger on general concepts than specific facts, they should stimulate enough concern to fuel further inquiry.-- "School Library Journal"
