Publisher's Summary
Southern white rhinos are in trouble. For years, a rumor has been spreading that their horns can be used to cure cancer, and poachers have been targeting these gentle creatures. Sandra Markle takes listeners behind the scenes to see how civilians, volunteer organizations, and African governments are working together to protect rhinos.
Please note: The original source audio for this production includes noise/volume issues. This is the best available audio from the publisher.
What the critics say
Neither hyping nor downplaying the poachers' cruelty, Markle's clear, matter-of-fact text presents well-researched facts in an organized way and asks readers what 'one thing you would like to be able to add to this timeline in the future.' The book's large format provides plenty of space for the many clear, well-captioned color photos. An informative volume explaining an ongoing conservation crisis." (Booklist)
"From the beginning scene to informative sections that expertly explain what a dire situation poaching has become for the rhinos, readers will be informed and enthralled throughout the fact-filled narrative." (School Library Journal)
"Another compelling, hopeful account of ecosystem defense." (Kirkus Reviews)
