Reader Reviews
This review is from: Will We Miss Them?: Endangered Species (Reading Rainbow Book) (School & Library Binding) I read this book for the first time in my English Block in college. I read this book and I was amazed that a sixth grader could compose something so wonderful and informative. It really enlightens students to know that there are authors that are their ages. It is on a level that students can understand. Furthermore (I think)this book can be used beyond the middle schools and into higher education to let others know what's going on in nature.
