review 1: I read Leo the Snow Leopard for one of the Children's Books group month reads. It is a wonderful true story accompanied by gorgeous photographs that really show how beautiful these big cats are. I am so glad that the Pakistani goat herder decided to rescue Leo rather than shoot him. And that he was willing to seek out other accommodation for him when he was too large for the herding family to take care of. Eventually, after lots of paper work, Leo is brought to the Bronx Zoo in New York, and was introduced to a female snow leopard. The hope is that the two will mate and produce more snow leopards. I have loved snow leopards ever since I first saw them in the San Antonio Zoo, many years ago. Unfortunately, I don't believe this zoo has snow leopards any m... moreore.
review 2: Leo's story teaches kids about the importance of conservation, as a family comes together to save an orphaned Snow Leopard in the mountains of Pakistan. Leo's story takes him from this loving family all the way to the Bronx Zoo. His journey is a serious one, as Snow Leopard's are in a critical state on the Endangered Species list.Children will not only learn about Leo and the beauty of Snow Leopard's, but they will learn that they play a crucial roll in the protection and Leo and other Snow Leopards. They will learn how people from around the world came to the aid of an lovable 7 week old orphan, who's now a beautifully, full grown Snow Leopard and an ambassador for all Snow Leopards.I think Leo's story is perfect for both grade school and middle school classrooms. less
