This is a interesting book for children to read. It will inspire children to develop reading skills because of the illustrations in the book.
It will also create awareness in children about endangered species and animal extinction because of human activities. It will give children a clear picture of animal struggle for survival; it will even engage children in the struggle with the animals.
Congratulations to the author for creating awareness in little minds.
The reviewer is also appreciated.

Kids love books containing stories that are entertaining and exciting, and this book offers them that bit of experience. I like that the story contains unique plot twist that will interest the mind of the kids, plus, there is a lot for kids to learn from.

A children's book with appealing characters and a compelling storyline that draws young readers' attention to issues such as harm caused by two-legged animals and caring for the environment is both a brilliant concept and a need. In addition, the images are excellent.
Nice review.

I love it when children's books include the message of caring for the environment. Teamwork, empathy, and friendship of course as well are important messages. Children's books should be flawlessly edited, happy to see this is the case for this one except minor errors in the table of contents.

Children easily empathize with animal stories, and this book is a fantastic way to teach them about the environment and to enhance their problem-solving skills.

I love when animals show the love and kindness humans should also show. Mike and Alex are land animals, but their generosity and their desire to help travels far, reaching the ocean! Will they be able to help Wally?
