From School Library Journal YA-- The BBC asked this team to film some of the most endangered animal species throughout the world. Adams has recorded their adventures seeking the komodo dragon, northern white rhinoceros, mountain gorilla, kakapo, baiji dolphin, and the rodrigues fruit bat. There is biological information here, but it is inaccessible for report writers due to the lack of an index and the wordy descriptions. However, these same accurate portrayals and Adams's entertaining style will expose students to the worlds of these animals. He moves rapidly from informal, laugh-out-loud descriptions of his travels to serious pleas for awareness and conservation of all animals. The full-color photographs are in two separate sections and help readers to visualize the unusual animals (including the authors). *- Claudia Moore, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA* Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review “Descriptive writing of a high order . . . this is an extremely intelligent book.” — *The Times* “This is life or death stuff, but Adams is a writer who chooses not to shake his finger at the reader.” — *Los Angeles Times* “Who would have thought that a book in the field of “ecology/nature”…could be as lively, sharply satirical, brilliantly written and even funny as this one is?…ranks with the best set pieces in Mark Twain.” — *Atlantic Monthly*
