A review by ricksilva
Who Was Steve Irwin? by Who HQ, Dina Anastasio

4.0

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.
