  David McLimans, Gone Wild: An Endangered Animal Alphabet (Walker and Company, 2006)
  While I admire the sentiment behind David McLimans' first childrens' book, I have to wonder at how up-to-date his information is. I wouldn't have thought to question it had he not brought up the spotted owl, that hoary old symbol of endangered species, which McLimans is quick to say is still in decline. This hasn't been true for the past decade. This makes me wonder how many of the other species in this book are now... more info

• My baby loves the book
  My 16 months old really enjoyed the book. She likes the graphics - which is done in black and white. We adults enjoyed the actual reading portion. The information is very educational. I can see my baby reading this book with a different perspective when she is older.

• Beautiful Book
  A truly beautiful and creative book that reminds us of those great typography designers such as Aldus Manutius, Nicolas Jenson or Claude Garamond. My child loved discovering wild (and sadly endangered) animals through the pages of Gone Wild.

• Boring to children
  This book was totally uninteresting to my grandchildren. It's a book that adults think will catch the interest of little ones and does not.
