Beautifully-written and -illustrated, Elephant Journey is a fantastic book to introduce kids to issues surrounding zoos, appropriate environments, and issues with keeping animals in activity. This book shows the power of animal advocacy (in a way that, for Canadian readers, will hit close to home since it involves the Toronto Zoo). Wonderful, inspiring book.

Great stories about young people working to help homeless cats. Covers subjects like NTR, shelters, and fostering. Appealing and informative.

A notable work of humane education. An informative, practical book that will inspire many readers to become advocates and take action. Compare this to Raymond Bial's Rescuing Rover: Saving America's Dogs (Houghton Mifflin, 2011).

A great introduction to the missions and functions of sanctuaries for rescued animals.
