This is another endearing biography in the series of Little People, Big Dreams (4-7 years old), bringing a legendary figure who was passionate about animals and our surroundings.
Steve Irvin (1962-2006) grew up in Australia, in family who loved animals. When he was eight, his family started a wildlife refuge. And when he was nine, he learned how to rescue a crocodile. From then on, he continued his passion for saving crocodiles.
He soon became Australia’s top “croc catcher,” and filming a documentary called “The Crocodile Hunter.” It became a popular show worldwide.
Steve’s enthusiasm for animals, especially crocodiles, comes through in this story and through illustrations. (The illustrations portraying little Steve are very cute). His story teaches that we belong to the planet as all other creatures and we should responsibly share the planet, rather than act as we own it.
In this wonderful biography presented with clear voice and examples, the “Little People” can learn about a man who did what he passionately cared for.
