In my opinion, this book is an excellent way to teach modern urban children about real wild nature that lies outside the big cities. I always the most appreciated educational value in literature intended for kids and this one has great potential in both story and visual thanks to great illustrations. Congratulations with BOTD!

This book appears to be not just educational, but very well executed. Having amazing and realistic illustrations is a big plus in a kids book and I'm sure children will adore it. On top of that, it's also well edited. I may not be the target audience, but I'm sure others will enjoy this book very much. Congrats on BOTD!

Hi Christell, thank you for the nice review of Rudi Caribou. Caribou are amazing creatures. I can see that you agree. Children will be mesmerized by this book. You mentioned that it has amazing illustrations. A picture says a thousand words, especially to a child. I downloaded the book and I will read it to my grandchildren. Have a nice day!

This is a great book for kids and adults to learn about Caribou (Reindeer). The illustrations are very realistic. The narrative is in short easy-to-read sentences that are very informative and the perspective of telling a story from a young Caribou is brilliant and endearing. Perfect learning aid.

This is a great way to teach children about an animal that is talked about very little! Wild animals are such special creatures and it's really important for children to learn how they live and how to respect them! Thanks for the review, it made me extremely curious about this book!

I’m looking forward to digging into this book to find out more about caribou through Rudi, its personality and character, and experiences. Children’s books are so fun to read because of values they impart and remind to the readers of all ages.

Children will enjoy learning about the life of caribou in this children's book. They will learn about what they eat, when and where they migrate, and the predators that they face along the way. My favorite parts were the gorgeous illustrations. Terrific book review!

'Official Review: Rudi Caribou' by Donald Burton Smith is concise and simple. It relates all the important points related to the fiction tale for readers. The point that the book provides a wealth of information about caribou, including the predators they face, the routes they take during migration, and much more is worth mentioning in the review. I truly appreciate that the book content is educational. Also, as mentioned in the review, the book also includes a map of where we may find the caribous. It was great to learn that the illustrations of the book are commendable!

As someone unfamiliar with caribous, this seems like the perfect opportunity to dive into their mysterious world, and I'm excited to discover the surprises the author has in store.

What a nice way for kids to learn more about caribous. I always applaud books like these because I'm sure empathy towards living beings is the answer to our ecological crisis. Kids can also learn to overcome difficulties like caribous do. Brilliant!
