Animal Helpers: Wildlife Rehabilitators  |
Like humans, animals can get sick or hurt. People see doctors. Pets have veterinarians. What happens to wild animals when they are injured, become ill, or are orphaned? Often, wildlife rehabilitators are called to their rescue. This photographic journal takes readers “behind the scenes” at four different wildlife rehabilitation centers. Fall in love with these animals as they are nursed back to health and released back to the wild when possible. This is the first of a photographic series introducing the different ways and the many people who care for a wide variety of animals.

"Animal Helpers: Wildlife Rehabilitators provides an age-appropriate introduction to the variety of roles of rehabilitators. Three rehabilitators help rescue an osprey tangled in fishing line by climbing up on a ladder that is perched in a boat and leaning against an upright platform. The author worked withwildlife rehabilitators from around the country and relied upon them for their expertise while writing this book and then later for verifying the book’s accuracy. This publisher always turns to specialists for verification – they’re books teachers and parents can trust for accuracy."
