Gr 3-6--This engaging, informational book profiles the plight of these big cats. The authors introduce readers to lions as symbols of strength and majesty and also discusses how they are in danger because of hunters, poachers, and human encroachment. Beautiful photographs of the animals in their habitat keep even the most reluctant reader engaged. Each chapter ends with a rescue challenge that urges children to make others aware of what they have learned. Print, web, and media resources for further study are also included, as well as a list of organizations so that readers can find out more about their missions. A solid selection for students who are interested in animal conservation.--Annette Herbert, F. E. Smith Elementary School, Cortland, NY
