We really enjoyed reading the stories in Rewild the World at Bedtime. It was a fresh idea to turn information into stories, we found them very uplifting and full of hope that we may be able to save our planet with a little bit of hard work and letting nature do her thing rather than trying to control it.

Each chapter was the perfect length to read before bed and allowed for plenty of discussion. The illustrations are beautiful and really brought the stories to life. The only problem is now we want to visit everywhere in the book! Now we have plans to rewild our garden

This book is stunning- the illustrations, from the front cover to the back and everything in between are such a beautiful style that help bring the stories to life. The stories themselves are inspiring and it’s great to read about real life examples of how the world is being rewilded posed in an almost fairytale like way (‘once upon a time…’) because magic isn’t just for make believe- there is magic in what the people in these stories are doing for the world!

I absolutely enjoyed this collection of stories that focus on Mother Nature and wildlife. I was blown away by the stunning and engaging illustrations. Each story was completely unique and I loved that this book went around the world with the stories taking place in different places. There were so many animals and I loved that there was a glossary included. My favorite story had to be The Wolves of Yellowstone Park, I just loved how informative and beautiful that story was. This would be perfect for bedtime stories!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with access to read this book!

EXCELLENT book! I am very passionate about wildlife conservation, and this book sang with the beautiful stories of unique souls burdened with a passion to preserve our wild world.

I also think this would be a great science resource for schools & homeschool moms! Each story is true, and explains the importance of each animal’s purpose in enriching our world.

I will highly recommend 👏🏻

In the description for Rewild the World at Bedtime ‘makes learning about the environment engaging and fun. It supports a healthy curiosity and interest in animals and the natural world, and its positive, hopeful message makes it perfect for children at bedtime’ and I couldn’t agree more with that.

Visually this book is beautiful, the cover alone drew me in and my daughter loved the drawings of the animals throughout and spotting all the different animals.

All the stories shared facts about the animals from all over the globe and I found myself learning from it too, plus the variety of species covered was a really nice mix.

The stories were easy to follow and understand plus the length of the stories was just right for bedtime, letting us decide how many to squish in before bed.

Fabulous read, visually beautiful!

I think it's extremely important for kids to be aware of problems all around the world that, as time passes, concern them more and more. The story explains these problems in a way that everyone, no matter the age, can comprehend them. I thought the stories where very nicely written and the illustrations were fantastic!

Rewild the World at Bedtime is a captivating collection that masterfully intertwines tales of nature's resilience with gentle bedtime storytelling. Hawkins' evocative prose paints a vivid picture of the natural world’s history, offering both educational insights and comforting narratives. The illustrations throughout are well done and absolutely beautiful. This book not only fosters a deep appreciation for the environment but also instills hope for its preservation, making it a great addition to anyone’s nighttime reading ritual.

We need a lot more of this in the world. This book talks about rewilding the world at bedtime, but I would recommend this for everyone, even high school kids. Science classes could read a section at a time out loud and discuss what happened.
The thing this book provides that is so rare nowadays is HOPE. There are so many stories of how what was thought to be lost was brought back by people who cared. I was trying to decide: what was my favorite story, the one about the pandas, the butterflies, the otters? It was the beavers, who came back to a neighborhood where the people who lived there did not want them. Then there was a storm, a lot of water built up, and all the homes were safe from flooding because of all the hard work the beavers had been doing.
More of this please!
Thanks to NetGalley for making this available to me

This beautiful book consists of very short stories from various parts of the world and all the stories are revolving animals. The stories were short but good. And the illustrations were absolutely breathtaking! A beautiful book, inside and out!

This book is an absolutely beautiful compilation of worldly stories telling of ways people in different places are making efforts to save our planet. So pertinent to everything happening in the world today, this book encourages kids and their parents to learn more about ways in which we humans can contribute to the "rewilding" of the planet. It is really amazing the way it has been compiled to educate children and their parents on the ways in which the earth is changing and the fact that we need to come together worldwide to protect it. I love this book and what it stands for. My kids may be a little young at 6 and 3 to sit through the stories that are told, but I will be adding it to our library so that I can teach them these important stories as they grow older.

This book is an exciting, informative and extraordinary journey through tales of animals being reintroduced to different corners of the globe. With a diverse array of countries and captivating stories, it will quickly become an all-time favourite and I can't wait to share it in the classroom.
The enchanting narratives not only weave beautiful tales but also serve as an educational gateway, sparking lively discussions about nature and animals' habitats.

The illustrations capture your imagination and further enhance the overall charm.

This may be my new all time favourite bedtime story book to read with my son. It was so beautiful but also educational, I read two stories with him which led to questions and discussions about nature and animals and their habitats. I enjoyed it that much that I continued reading to myself after he fell asleep! The illustrations are lovely, and I think it will be widely enjoyed by children world wide.
