Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Felina's New Home
Loran Wlodarski · 2010
71/100
👍 Worth It
A picture book about an endangered Florida panther finding her habitat — conservation storytelling done with care, educational back matter that has been fact-checked, and a bilingual Spanish edition that expands classroom reach. SLJ noted one illustration consistency issue, but the institutional adoption (multiple printings, school use) reflects genuine merit. A solid and purposeful choice for the preK-3 set.
