pickSid and I loved this book about our hero Steve Irwin. Wonderfully accessible for the youth, informative about wildlife and Steve‘s life, and celebratory about his work. Sid‘s pretty gutted about the ending (chapter 9 is a bit intense). A very lucky community library find which will be a firm fave in Sid‘s library for years to come.
pickThis book was a bibliography of Steve Irwin and all he was known for. I liked how the author used quotations to bring the book to life. I think the topic would maybe interest children, but of an older age group.
We don't own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.
I would not use this book for my classroom, because it may not be the most interesting. I would maybe lay it out on a book rack for children to read in their free time if they would want.

I find it interesting that we push this idea of “everyone must go to college” and we disparage self-education of any kind as somehow not legitimate, when so many well respected people have had little or no formal education (or in more recent times, nothing beyond compulsory education). Meanwhile, we have useless degrees and a growing student debt crisis that hurts society as a whole, not just those who will never known adult life without debt.
