Kakapo Rescue: Saving the World's Strangest Parrot by Sy Montgomery, Nic Bishop

5.0

This informational book relates the mission of trying to save a very odd species of bird native to New Zealand from extinction. Humans are trying to make up for the wrongs of the past by ensuring that these birds can again begin to thrive. This book includes stunning full color photos of the mission, surroundings, wildlife, and the people trying to help make things right. It also has an index, bibliography, an address to donate to the cause, and a link to the website about the kakapo recovery program. I think an interesting question to be asked of young readers is why they think people did this in the first place and why they feel such a need to help the kakapo now.
