Beautifully illustrated with a gentle approach, I feel this is a perfect way to introduce young ones to the concepts of endangered species and extinction. Many animals are included. Parents and teachers can use it to open the door to further discussions.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A great teaching tool about endangered species and why we need to care. Great illustrations.

This was a book that I was really excited to get a hold of. Instead I wasn't quite happy with it in the end.

One of the reasons that I dislike digital books is that sometimes the formatting gets to be wonky. In this case there was nothing that I could do to get the book to download correctly in more than one reading app. In the end I could only see the top portion of the illustrated page, which didn't have much of the subject animals and be able to read the written portion to boot. Such a waste when you can see that the artwork is gorgeous and brightly colored.

The writing itself was short and simple while the font was of a decent size. The author kept to a poetical style that did rhyme in many places while still giving plenty of information about the species shown on the page. The only one I may have to disagree with is the panda and am wandering if the author or editor of the book keeps an eye on threatened animal news.

All in all I probably would have given the book a much higher ranking but if you can't read it and enjoy the whole book than what is there really to review?

A sampler for children, presenting some of the world's most endangered species. Their stories are told through simple rhymes and accompanied by beautiful illustrations. A good, first introduction to the subject. Some of the vocabulary seemed forced (in order to rhyme) or too advanced for beginning readers. However, there is a glossary in the back, so all is well. We recommend the book.

This is a cute children's book! My children really enjoyed it and the art work was great!! It showed many different endangered animals and taught a little about each animal.

BQB Publishing and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Who Will Roar if I Go? I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.

Right off the bat, children will be amazed at the artwork that brings the endangered animals to life. With bright colors and beautiful brushstrokes, the different animals are instantly recognizable. Each page is devoted to a singular animal, with a poem about both the animal and why they are endangered. Although the target audience is very young, parents will also be able to learn something from this book. Who Will Roar if I Go? is a very important children's book, as it brings to light how precious they are and how their disappearance from the world would be life changing.

This book has gorgeous artwork! The illustrations look as if they would be well suited for hanging on a wall. The story is one that needs to be told and the author did a nice job doing that. I especially loved the elephant...."no one needs my tusks but me, go make some in a factory". We just lost the white rhino forever.....this book can help create a new generation of conservationists.

African animals are introduced in beautiful subdued watercolor as the words tell the reader about them and the difficulties they face in the modern world.
The elephant has the best page.
If this had been written in prose I would have been okay with it, but a lot of the rhymes are either forced or simply done by throwing in a useless “you see” or such. The awkward cadence and differing lengths make it hard to singsong. It feels like an attempt to emulate Dr. Seuss by someone who’s never written a poem before. . . at least not a good one.
Come for the art. . .

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.

This is a sadly necessary book, and it’s a bittersweet experience to read.

Written in a rhyming, poetry style, Paige Jaeger introduces us to endangered species around the world.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where people kill animals for the fun of it, or because greedy rich people want to decorate their houses with dead animals. Who Will Roar If I Go? introduces children to an important topic in a way that works for their age.
