Review: Rebel Girls - 25 Animal Allies . (Rebel Girls Series)

Review: Rebel Girls - Animal Allies - Rebel Girls Series - April 2023

It's books like this that make me wish I had a daughter or at least a close niece that loved reading that I could share these books. Sadly, the two that I have a close relationship with that are girls aged 6 and 8 are more into technology than reading which is a shame. Maybe they might turn to books when they are older. In this series Rebel Girls, I also wish it was around when I was growing up just imagine the careers I could have ended up with or the heroes I had as a female. I would have had some great strong female role models, but back then we didn't have this exposure. I recently went to a talk about the scientist Marie Curie and they talked about the oppression of women in careers despite there still being some struggles, even in the last 20 years we have come so far for females to be recognised as when I was growing up, we didn't have that recognition and I grew up in the 90s and the early to mid-2000s. This time Rebel Girls has decided to delve into the world of Wildlife heroes. Of course, on this list is Jane Goodall with her work with monkeys etc - she was the only one I knew in this book besides the young Bindi Irwin who took over some of her dad’s work. Like the previous other books, we are also exposed to famous wildlife explorers, we didn't know existed from Eugenie Clark and her work with sharks to Christina Goursch who works with Hippos, and Amanda Lear aka Batgirl as she works with Batman's fear - "Bats".

If you love animals and have ever thought about working with animals of any kind as a career, and are aged between 8-14 years then this edition of Rebel Girls - Animal Allies should be the book on your wishlist for 2023.
