This is a Gerry good book that tells you about these endangered species that are almost exciting and gets you really engaged in the story.
This book was very interesting I told me about animals I never heard about(probley cause they are almost extinct) some really were great and there was one of them that really caught my attention, it looked like a mouse and kangaroo put together it was sooo adorable. So I give this book a 10%10

learning about those animals on the edge I feel bad for those animals
I liked this book because I liked to see all the animals that scientists helped and seeing what's left or if they are going to be extinct. I also loved to see how the scientists helped them, and where the animals live.
Animals at the Edge shows that so many animals are endangered. The book shows that we should protect their environment and habitats. It gives you lots of information about the animals inside the book. If you like interesting facts, you would like this book. I would recommend this book to all my friends. I rate this book 4 out of 5.

Animals at the edge shows that many animals are endangered and need our help. We should help save the environment so not as many animals are endangered.

I thought that Animals At The Edge was a good book. It taught me that most animals are endanger and how much there is left of a species. Where they live and how much there is left of the species. And I learned that about new animals I never new about.
I LOVED the UGLY animals!
This book is a very good book for animal lovers of all ages. It gives you information about animals that are almost extinct and where they can be found. From the front cover to the back page, this book is full of great photographs of animals. They are eye-catching and each photo captivates the reading audience. The pictures enhance the information text. We would rate this book a 9 out of 10. Our only criticism of the book is that there could have been more information on some animals like the long eared jerboa. The jerboa looks so cute in the pictures that we were crying for more information. Submitted by The Rocky Mountain Book Award Committee George P. Nicholson School
This book teaches you about animals that are going extinct or may already be extinct! I give this book 8 out of 10 because there is not lots of information about each animal. I think that this book was well written considering they don't know much about these animals. The at hour also included information on the scientists that have been studying these remarkable creatures.
I really liked this book because it tells you about different animals that are at the edge of extinction. And where they live. It was very interesting. I would recommend it to animal lovers and people who like cute things!
This book was well written but it could have had a LOT more information. I liked the photographs but it is definitely not my favorite. I am generous to rate it 6 out of 10
I loved this book it really gets exotic and going extinct animals out that need our help. and some of them are sooo cute it just makes you want to save them all.
I thought this book was very interesting because it talked about the people that research the animals. My favorite animal in this book would have to be the long ear Jerboa. I would have to give this book a 8 out of 10.
It was a good book. I liked the rare animals and the information given about it. But it could have been better. I thought there could have been more rare animals.
