We really liked this book, it was our favorite from this series thus far. Both Steve Irwin and the world he lived in are fascinating. And the end made me cry.

I can't imagine finishing my 2015 reading challenge any other way. the "Timeline of the World" at the end was an excellent bonus.

Steve Irwin was an excitable goofball, but his passion for animals was legit. He is missed.

Read with the Kiddo as part of his summer reading. This book did a nice job of bringing out Irwin's love for animals and nature. There was a lot of emphasis on his family background and the development of the zoo where Steve grew up. His death was handled in a straightforward way that transitioned into focusing on Irwin's continued legacy and influence. The book was also full of facts about Australian wildlife, and contained an entertaining sidebar on Australian expressions. The Kiddo enjoyed reading this, and it felt like he picked up on some of Irwin's joy and enthusiasm for nature.
