Rebel Girls Animal Allies by Rebel Girls.
25 Tales of Women Working with Wildlife.
Swim with the sharks alongside Eugenie Clark, build bat houses with Amanda Lear, nurse a baby hippo to health with Christina Gorsuch, and protect endangered seahorses with Amanda Vincent and Heather Koldewey..
Really good read. Loved the illustrations. 4*.

Love this book!! The biographies in here are short so could easily be read one a day at morning meeting or a similar time in class. They feature diverse scientists across the world that are working to help animals in some way. Girls can find inspiration in the many stories throughout the book and I love that the back includes a place to add your own story!

'What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.' ~ Jane Goodall.
Another 25 inspiring stories and illustrations by Rebel Girls, this one about women who make a difference to protect animals might be my favourite so far. From environmentalists to biologists, scientists to just brave school girls speaking agains for animal cruelty. We should all become an animal ally!
Would definitely buy this for my school.

Another beautifully done book for girls and boys alike. Seeing yourself in books is one thing, but looking at books with your role models who do the things YOU want to do is an awesome feeling. With familiar faces and quite a few new ones, readers are exposed to some amazing women who have had successes and failures alike. All the women in this book are known for some amazing feats and they’re shared beautifully. Some of the contents overlap from other storybooks, but overall, the content is wonderful. Easy to read and follow along, plus the added digital elements such as QR codes, makes this a wonderful book for children all over.

Like all the others in this series, I think these books are absolutely brilliant. The easy to read style as well as the gorgeous artwork are just the perfect conbo. I just wish I could have read these books when growing up... As a young child and massive animal lover, I would have been totally inspired by these. This is probably my favourite book in the set so far. Thanks to Netgalley for an advance copy of the book.

This book is just so perfect for any budding young animal ally. This beautifully illustrated book tells the stories of 25 women who have centred their lives around helping animals. I particularly liked the fact that this is super current, including many very young women who have made a real difference; I can imagine this will be incredibly inspirational for children to see.

I really liked that there is a QR code on some of the stories, allowing the reader to find out even more. At the the end of the book, there is a space to write your own story and even to include a self-portrait, as well as a section on what you can do a become an 'animal ally'.

This book has clearly been very well thought about and the result is beautiful.

My thanks to NetGalley and the Publishers for sending me this ARC in return for an honest review.

I just absolutely adore the Rebel Girls series! It is such a joy getting to learn about extraordinary women from different backgrounds across history.

I love reading these books because it allows me the opportunity to learn about women I otherwise would not have learned anything about. Bindi Irwin and Jane Goodall are widely known, but Rebel Girls highlights others who aren't in the spotlight (even though they should be!)

I am obviously not the target audience for this series, but I still really enjoy it. They are perfect books to give to young girls to inspire them to change the world. If i ever have a daughter, she will have the entire series!

I'm relatively new to the Rebel Girls book world, but I've enjoyed all of the titles I've read so far. This is no exception. This time we are given a brief introduction to some wonderful women activists, conservationists, scientists, researchers, etc that are actively seeking to help animals. Once again, I loved the variety of artwork. I look forward to discovering more Rebel Girls books. These are great books for readers that enjoy nonfiction and biographies.

Is there NOTHING that the Rebel Girls can't do? I'm already obsessed with their series, and I'm thrilled to add this newest edition. The best part is that this book takes care of holiday gifts for many of the little girls (and boys!) on my list. I love the wonderful illustrations, and the writing is simple enough to be enjoyed by the younger set, while intelligently enough written that it will appeal to the teens.
This book truly is a tribute to 26 spectacular women - from professors to painters, and actors to vets - who have been champions for animals in a huge variety of ways. Not only does it educate and entertain, but also introduces so many potential careers and ways to be involved with the animal kingdom that it will open the imaginations for anyone who reads it.
Not only can it be "read," but it would be a great source for bedtime stories since each entry is short and sweet and could lead to some inspirational dreams - and future conversations.
I can't wait for the next surprise from Rebel Girls!
Thank you to Rebel Girls and Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

Lovely new version of this format: it was great to learn about the stories of these women loving, protecting and studying animals. More than anything, I loved reading about "unconventional" love toward some kind of animals not everybody loves (as bats, my most loved creatures).

Am I the target age audience for this book? No. But I’m a female, aspiring conservationist and animal lover so I definitely meet the rest of the target audience groups!

I loved this book. The illustrations were beautiful, and it was so inspiring to see such a diverse group of women and the ways they’ve shaped and played a part in the conservation field.

The end of the book also has ways younger kids can start their own conservationist journey and I think that’s adorable. I would definitely recommend it for any young animal lover in your life!

I read an eARC of this book provided by NetGalley, but I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

Another great addition to the "Rebel Girls" series, this time highlighting women who work/support animals. My animal-loving 8-year old niece is going to LOVE this book. I can't wait to pre-order it for her!

Animal Allies is a welcome, informative addition to the Rebel Girls universe. As is typical with all of the books in the Rebel Girls series, Animal Allies is filled with beautiful illustrations and informative, accessible text.

I learned a lot and loved sharing this with my kids. Would highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book. Full disclosure: I was pre-approved by Rebel Girls.

I didn’t know who a lot of the women were in this book which seems to be a tradition at this point with Rebel Girls.

The job titles listed were amazing since there was a diverse group, such as birds and reptiles. There was even an exhibit designer/architect which was really cool.

After reading each mini-biography, there’s space to write your own story and even draw your portrait. Also, there are activities designed by Bindi Irwin (who also makes an appearance in the book).

Overall, Rebel Girls continues to produce great books and I’m loving the addition of the activities at the end.

I cannot wait to get the print version of this book for my daughter (and to have on hand with homeschooling).

This is another fun addition to the Rebel Girls line of amazing women literature. This entire book features women that have worked in some capacity with animals so it makes it exciting and relatable for most children. It even had a number of professions I wasn't familiar with (I love learning along with my kids!). Definitely a lot of fun career choices as well as memorable humans. Highly recommend!

I have read quite a lot of these books in the series and I really enjoy seeing books that hype up women and support women. I absolutely adore them. I would highly recommend reading them. It puts a lot of things in perspective and I will continue to read more of these books.

A great resource for school children to utilise. Full of facts and stories about some of the most interesting women who work with animals. It contains information on famous women as well as unknown women who are working for a better world for animals. Lovely illustrations throughout.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy. This short book tells about various girls and women who have worked in conservation and have advocated for endangered species. The illustrations were wonderful. I would have loved this book as a kid, and I still learned something reading this as an adult. There are options to scan to read more about the individual people described from Bindi Irwin to Jane Goodall. At the end, there are recommendations for kids to learn more and to do their part. Overall, this is a great educational read for kids and families!

Like every rebel girls book, I loved this. The art style with the animals is adorable and I know my students will love interacting with this book! Many of my students love animals and this will be a big hit with them.

**Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the eARC in exchange for this review. This in no way changed my opinion**

In general, I am a fan of the Rebel Girls series and this did little to change that. While the artwork is new (and very cohesive in this particular edition. I didn't find any to feel out of place like I have in the past), a lot of the people highlighted were recycled (ex. Jane Goodall, Bindi Irwin, etc.). I think unless you're collecting these specific editions that are broken down into 25 women in a specific category, you probably have another Rebel Girls book that mentions most of these women. I did like how diverse the selection was and that they highlighted women making a difference globally instead of falling into a trap of just highlighting women in predominantly European countries or focusing mostly on the US and Europe. I downloaded the app so I could try out the QR codes and it mostly just read the stories from the aforementioned other editions of this series. I don't think the additional material is worth a $60 a year subscription unless you have a kiddo who is SUPER into this series. My last criticism is that, while I understand why she's important to animal care as a topic, I wish Temple Grandin hadn't been included as her community has long been calling out her problematic attitude and willingness to be a spokesperson for "overcoming" disability. She's also expressed some alarmingly eugenicist views in regards to this, so I wasn't super happy to see her being held up as an example for young kids. Overall, though, I think many of the choices will inspire readers of all ages to better take care of our planet.

3.5/5 stars
