“Who Will Roar If I Go” introduces 13 different animals from around the world, that are in danger of extinction. This book also describes what the specific causes for their endangerment is. The book is written in a rhyming verse format, which tends to attract children to the "story". Some of the animals presented will be familiar, some might not.

Many children are big animal lovers and are eager to learn about the animals in our world. It is unfortunate that we are still talking about this problem after all these years. The beautiful, watercolour illustrations were wonderful. They were realistic and showed the habitat of the animal they were describing. They stole the show for me. There were some resources included at the back of the book for further reading and research. I read this book to my 5 year old grandson and he really enjoyed the illustrations, but does not quite understand the idea of endangerment of what we can do to help. I think this book would be good to use with students to introduce them to endangered species and to open a discussion about what they can do to help. I would recommend this book to children in the primary grades, especially those in grade 2 and 3. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, opinions and ideas are my own.

Paige Jaeger's Who Will Roar If I Go is a beautiful children's book about conservation and endangered species, told from the animals’ points of view. I read this with my cubs, and we all enjoyed it. I loved that not only were well known, and 'lovable’ animals like lions and tigers included, but so were lesser known or not particularly cuddly critters like snow leopards, quetzal birds, and the Chinese giant salamander. With rhyming poetry, and gorgeous watercolour illustrations, this is a must have for any children's’ library. It would make a great teaching tool in classrooms as well. My only qualm is that sometimes the poetry felt off, either a bit cheesy, or longer than felt necessary, and I found myself tweaking the stanzas to flow better to my ear.

***Many thanks to Netgalley and BQB Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Carol Hill Quirk, illustrator, is the star of this beautiful picture book featuring 13 endangered animals. While Jaeger’s simple poems are rhythmic and cover the basics of both well-known and unfamiliar animals, it is the gorgeous watercolor illustrations that make this a stand out purchase for libraries catering to preschool thru 3rd grade. Art teachers of any age group could easily find a place for this one in their instruction on the use of watercolors. Publisher information on “Who Will Roar If I Go?” indicate that future books focusing on individual species are part of this duo’s plans.

This book had a great message about taking care of the animals in our world. I'm 100% on board with the message. That said, it wasn't imbedded enough into a story and felt very preachy. I was not a fan. I would have love to have seen this message presented in another way.

A basic but somber book that could be well utilized to introduce children to the concept that we share this world with animals, and that our actions affect them more than they realize. For adults, it’s a tap on the shoulder—a reminder of how we need to conduct ourselves not just for the sake of the majestic animals discussed, but for the previously-mentioned children.

The illustrations are striking and memorable. The narrative, poetic and sing-song in its presentation, is haunting when you let it simmer in your head. An interesting angle is that most of the animals featured have their own way that they’re negatively impacted by people.

The book’s title says it all, and it’ll stick with you for a while.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BQB Publishing for the advance read.

Well written in rhyme with lovely watercolor illustrations, “Who Will Roar If I Go?” is a thoughtful look at animals in danger. Paige Jaeger has given a book that is readable for an elementary school level but easy to understand for those younger. Some are well known while others not so much, such as the quetzal. The striking cover and title is an enticement for children to want to open up the pages for more.

I especially liked the animals’ sincere POVs, their home region given, the glossary at the end, as well as the poetic language used. My kindergarten granddaughter like the illustrations, but also asking questions about the why certain things were happening, such as why elephants would be killed for their tusks?

Great book for a school, classroom or personal library.

Fantastic book. My son just loved me reading it to him so you got a huge thumbs up from the targeted audience its for

I love this book. It's a good one for all ages to read and take a lesson from. Animal furs don;t look good on anyone but the animal to whom it belongs. Wearing it doesn't make a person awesome, but makes me wonder about their self-esteem- do they suffer from some delusion that they now look like the animal they are wearing??? And ivory, why not use your own tooth fro jewelry? Tooth's a tooth. Nothing especially special about an elephants tusk. And feathers and horns, and skins... really people???? Those things can be reproduced and look just as well in a factory. Humans need to be more responsible. Love the rhymes , tho' not always perfect. And the illustrations were beautiful. great lesson to be learned. It should be required reading for folks with too much money on hand and no souls.....

It breaks my heart that this book has to exist, but it’s message is clear and something I want every child to hear.
My nephew already loves his animals and I’m scared his children will live in world without these majestic animals, so this is a book that I’m going to preorder right away.
The illustrations are painfully beautiful and my favourite is the snow leopard.
