Notes at the back give details about specific places.<\/p>\n<p>The main text is simple but fascinating.  I like the variety in the different kinds of crossings featured.  All of them save animals lives and help them have a wider habitat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meegpincus.com\/\">MeegPincus.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lernerbooks.com\/\">lernerbooks.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1541589386\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Childrens_Nonfiction\/make_way_for_animals.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Childrens_Nonfiction\/make_way_for_animals.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but the views expressed are solely my own, and in no way represent the official views of my employer or of any committee or group of which I am part.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-via=\"Sonderbooks\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What did you think of this book?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make Way for Animals!
