Don't Let Them Disappear by Chelsea Clinton (Children's Nonfiction Book Review)

by Chelsea Clinton
Illustrated by Gianna Marino
Published by Philomel Books

From the author of the #1 NYT bestseller She Persisted comes a beautiful book about the animals who share our planet--and what we can do to help them survive. 

Did you know that blue whales are the largest animals in the world? Or that sea otters wash their paws after every meal? The world is filled with millions of animal species, and all of them are unique and special. Many are on the path to extinction. 

In this book, Chelsea Clinton introduces young readers to a selection of endangered animals, sharing what makes them special, and also what threatens them. Taking readers through the course of a day, Don't Let Them Disappear talks about rhinos, tigers, whales, pandas and more, and provides helpful tips on what we all can do to help prevent these animals from disappearing from our world entirely. 

With warm and engaging art by Gianna Marino, this book is the perfect read for animal-lovers and anyone who cares about our planet. 

My Thoughts:

This realistically and adorably illustrated picture book introduces us to twelve endangered species from around the world and urges us to not let them disappear. 




From giraffes in South Africa to polar bears in the Arctic, animals across the globe are becoming more and more scarce, posing the threat that these animals might become extinct if we don't act and change things soon.

This nonfiction picture book has a map of the world with convenient animal shapes on the continents they come from and a key that shows us the risk of extinction at the beginning of the book. Each animal spread shares the range of location and endangered status as well as why they are endangered. The pages in the back go into more detail about the reasons why these animals are endangered. There are also some ideas for 'what you can do' to help and a list of International holidays dedicated to these Endangered species!
