The premise of this book had me worried. I thought it was going to be an anti-zoo book, but surprised me. It was a good, educational story about zoos and why the animals are there. I enjoyed it!

Thank you so much to Jolly Fish Press and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Maria and Mateo are on a school trip to the zoo, but seeing the animals trapped and in the wrong environment makes them sad, so they plan to free them and send them back. But they soon discover more about why the animals are there in the first place and create a new plan.

Really super cute, they are such easy and fun reads, perfect for early readers to read by themselves or to an adult and enjoy them too. The characters are always up to something funny, with very big ideas and have some of the greatest trips.

I loved how much they cared about these random animals and how they wanted to ensure that they were safe in the correct environment, I also really loved how helpful and kind the vet was helping to put their mind at ease and sharing the truth about these animals within the zoo.

This series is also great because it provides facts at the end along with a Spanish glossary to help with the Spanish words throughout. It’s got the most adorable illustrations that are so fun to look at. It’s a really enjoyable book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This book was very fun. This will be a great read for early readers and they will really enjoy this book as it was very fun.

Cousins, Maria and Mateo, are on a school trip to the zoo. They feel bad for the animals and decide to rescue them. However, they stumble across a doctor who works at the zoo who tells them all about conservation efforts and keeping animals safe. They change their mission to telling more people about conservation efforts.

This was a cute book. It was a quick read and has a glossary at the back for Spanish words, plus facts about conservation efforts! I think the plot was a little simple, even for kids, but I do like that this could be a starting point for talking to kids about conservation efforts!

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Operation Rescue the Animals is a great story for young children start to understand why animals are in Zoos and encouraging them to ask questions and learn more.

I am so happy for this chapter book to remind us of the work done by zoos and institutions that collect the animals and help them survive more years than they would in the wild. This is sad to know also because it's our responsibility to protect their environment so they don't need to be rescued or be in danger from trash. The characters of this episode have their heart in the right place. During a school trip to the Zoo, they realize that all animals are trapped, but then during their rescue mission, they learn how animals can be saved and vets can learn from the animal feces to improve their knowledge of how to protect the animals best. This one focuses on the anteater that is at risk of being extinct. The author provides at the end pertinent questions so the readers can think more about this issue and discuss it, and also explains zoo facts (not all zoos are credited, but they should be). We are a family who donate to help these institutions to support the animals. I hope many young readers read this book. I love that we learn so many Spanish words. Perfecto!
Thank you, Publisher and Netgalley for this e-Arc.
