Kiddo (8) and I really enjoyed this one! There are many inspiring stories about girls and women who are helping and caring for animals. There are also ideas about ways for you to help animals.

Kiddo is very very into cute animals at the moment (The number of stuffed animals he sleeps with just keeps growing) and though he protested reading anything over Christmas break, he was happy to curl up with me and listen to the stories once I cajoled him into listening to "just one." In fact, every time I stopped for a minute to rest my voice he immediately flipped to the next page himself.

We enjoyed the beautiful illustrations that go with each one page story (there were many exclamations of "It's so cute!" about the various animals pictured) and the quotes from each featured girl and woman.

The reading level is a bit higher than kiddo's (3rd grade) just because of how dense the text is on the page. It makes a great read-aloud for kids age 6-9 however, and a slightly older kid could read it on their own. I found it was also helpful to read aloud because of some science words and names of animals kiddo was unfamiliar with that I could explain when he asked as we went along.

This is the third book from the Rebel Girls series that we have read. I thought it would be a perfect fit for my 10 year old daughter who wants to be a vet and it certainly was! We read two bios every night before bed. The illustrations were beautifully done. My daughter loved to read the selected quote on each page. I loved the diversity in background for all of the woman picked for this book. There were all kinds of nationalities and all kinds of animal Allies. There were marine biologists, conservationists, vets, animal artists, etc. I also loved that most of the stories told how they did something when they were young so my daughter saw that even kids her own age could make huge impacts on the world. I have yet to be let down by this series of books and this one has been one of our favorites.

I only discovered this series recently and am thoroughly enjoying it. Weirdly enough, although I expected it to be the woman involved with horses that would grab my attention, I found myself repeatedly flashing back to the very first entry on Amanda Vincent and Heather Koldewey. Well, actually it was sorta horse related. Seahorses. I've seen them in various aquariums and always smile watching them seemingly languidly drifting through the water, occasionally wrapping their tails around a clump of seaweed or whatever to suck in food. They look so peaceful, not to mention that it's the males who give birth. Both trapped by fishing nets and hunted for medicinal reasons, they have been the focus of Vincent and Koldewey.

It was fascinating to read about the routes these remarkable women took to find their passion and make a difference. I recall being saddened as a child viewing monkeys and bears jailed in small cages at an area zoo. I was too young to take action, at least too young to realize I might be able to make a difference in their lives, but people like Bella Lacke didn't let age stop her. She wrote a letter to someone who could help. As a child, Jane Goodall's beloved stuffed chimp, Jubilee, surely hinted at her future. Autistic and sent to a special school, Temple Grandin discovered her connection to horses. Birute Caldikas was inspired by the first book she recalls checking out of the library, "Curious George". 

Twenty-five animal allies are showcased. They provide inspiration and, who knows, maybe the sense of "If they can do it, so can I" that just might lead us to the next generation of astounding Rebel Girls. If, as an adult reader, you find the stories somewhat limited in content, I'll also note that an icon is provided for scanning to take you to fuller stories online. I didn't check them all out but the ones I did make a point of visiting were worth the effort. 

Bottom line, although new to this book series, I'm liking it more and more as I become better acquainted. It's a plus, too, that not only are those showcased from around the world and of different races and backgrounds but 25 different artists from around the world were used to illustrate the different stories. Thank you so much #NetGalley and #RebelGirls for allowing me to visit and get to know these remarkable women. The message I got was that we can make a difference.

I remain, as always, a sucker for the Rebel Girls franchise.

This edition follows the same trusted recipe that started with the very first Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: short descriptions of influential women, accompanied by a one-of-a-kind portrait of the subject.

Rebel Girls Animal Allies is a collection that features women who have made wildlife their life’s work. The editors have made a great effort to represent women across races and cultures: mostly in the USA, some in Canada and the UK, and a couple of women from elsewhere. As with my previous reviews, I do feel that more countries can and should be represented in these collections.

This edition struck me as being more direct about the intersections of feminism and race, rather than painting a generalised picture of a sisterhood of women that “doesn’t see colour”. While this openness may well have been part of the ethos of previous collections, Animal Allies is really the first of the series that has managed to capture it.

Three cheers for the Rebel Girls!

Rebel Girls Animal Allies is an excellent addition to the Rebel Girls titles. It introduces many new to most readers women who are involved in animal rights and activism. This would be a welcome addition to any collection.

I LOVE the Rebel Girl books! This current book is about some amazing women who have done so much for animals. Some I have heard of but many I haven’t. One Sami Bayly does amazing paintings and books on animals! I will definitely be purchasing some for gifts!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read, review and learn from this amazing book!

I love love loved this installment in the Rebel Girls series! Any kind of animal advocacy and conservation is a dear subject to me and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about so many girls in the wildlife space that I did not know about. As with other installments in the series the interactive aspect, art and activities included were perfect for the tone of the book and series itself.

An inspiring book filled with inspiring women - beautifully written and illustrated!

I really enjoyed reading this and always love their collection. 4✨

Before giving another Rebel Girls book to my daughter (who loves all things animal and all things wildlife), I quickly scrolled through the names of all the women who have their stories told in this book. I was so happy to see my all-time wildlife favorite Jane Goodall listed there! I quickly read the page about her, smiled, and happily let my daughter read it. And when she finished this quick read, I read other stories too. This book is so sweet! It has the perfect balance of fierce and smart women, beautiful illustrations, and information not just about the said women, but just enough to make the young reader more curious about wildlife.
The book is a perfect quick read for those who love beautiful picture books and who also want to raise their children with some feminism in mind. The creators of this book have done a great job of writing about smart, fierce, and strong women who make a lasting difference in the world.

Lovely design and lay out with beautiful illustrations

Perfect gift for young adults and children interested in animals and environment

I love this series of books, both as a parent and a teacher. The stories are always inspirational and accessible for all. Beautiful illustrations too. I will definitely recommend this to my students.

I didn't know how much I needed this book because it is specifically about women and their relationships with animals. Loved it!

Here comes another great biography book from Rebel Girls! This book shares 25 stories of women who have took a stand for animal rights in the past. There is quite a bit of detailed information about each person and a nice illustration to go along with them. As will other Rebel Girl publications, this book teaches the importance of standing up for what you believe in, not accepting gender inequality and going against status quo. I would recommend this book for middle grade readers (mainly grades 4-7) interested in animal activism and strong females in history. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book.

Another fantastic book by Rebel Girls! But who's surprised by that?

This one was really fun! It's all about women who've made an impact by helping and protecting animals! I always learn something new from reading these books by Rebel Girls, and I'm sure the target audience (young kids) would adore these! The full-page illustrations in this book were also amazing, and probably my favorite from all of the one's that they've included in past books!

Rating: 5 stars

* Thank you to Netgalley and Rebel Girls for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Another great book from the Rebel Girls series! Beautifully illustrated this book talks about inspiring animal activists and their significant work to help their beloved creatures! I had so much fun reading about each one of these activists! It warms my heart that there is this many people who care about the safety of animals and dedicate their lives to help them!

I would like to thank Rebel Girls for providing me with an ARC.

I think these books are pretty great for young girls to provide inspiration. I also think that Rebel Girls has been doing better with some of their newer books with providing more diverse stories in them. This is a great addition to the series. I would highly recommend this book to those with children who love animals or really any animal lover. There is a great collection of women in this book who have dedicated their lives to animals. Also, the illustrations are great as they always are.

Loved the illustrations and the incredible animal allies in this one! The diversity among who was discussed was incredible

My absolute favourite Rebel Girls release yet, combining the stories of 25 strong and inspirational women with a love of animals. Animal protection and interst in animal conservation locally and worldwide is vitally important to my family. Not only are the creatures great and small so beautiful and able to teach us so much about the world, but our ecosystems depend on them. We get to read about women who put these beautiful creatures foremost. We can read more by scanning qr codes. The pictures are purely stunning. My daughters spent so much time pouring over them. They immediately wanted binoculars to go exploring and pencils and papers to join in the sketching activities suggested at the end. A brilliant addition to the Rebel Girls family of books. Another one my family simply have to have in out collection. It is one we will return to often. #rebelgirlsanimalallies #rebelgirls #netgalley #animalkingdom #animalconservation #animalprotection #strongwomen #inspirationalwomen #nonfiction

Another great and informative installment by Rebel Girls. I love that they always include a good mixture of well-known figures like Bindi Irwin , but also include lesser-known and more modern people. The artists they choose are always great too.

Thanks to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

Thanks to Rebel Girls and Netgalley for my pre-approval of this arc.

Another fab book in the Rebel Girls Mini 's series. I asolutely loved learning about fellow animal lovers and conservationists. Hopefully more young women like these are being born every day.
