Review Tineke, Berkelouw Mona Vale

From the authors of Owen and Mzee, a new heartwarming true story comes in the form of Leo the Snow Leopard. This is a beautifully photographed book and well written story beginning at Leo's rescue as an orphan by a Pakistani shepherd and ending with him leading a well adapted life in the Bronx Zoo. This book is suitable to be read to children aged 4-8, and can be read by children on their own from a competent reading level. It not only tells the story well but also gives lots of extra interesting information about wildlife conservation, captive breeding and international law as it applies to endangered species. We highly recommend this topical book aimed at young children.
