Kosa Ely's The Jaguar's Story is a spell-binding story of the very real challenges faced by jaguars living in the Amazon. The language is beautiful in its simplicity, and the story is brought to life by Radhe Gendron's vivid and captivating illustrations. Though this book is subtly educational, I was enthralled by the quality of storytelling. On par with stories like The Lion King, children of all ages will LOVE reading this book again and again.

What a gorgeous way to educate children and bring awareness to all of us about the importance of jaguars and their habitat. The story is engaging, the art stunning, and the message long overdue. Every home, school, and library ought to have this lovely book in their collection.

It's a pleasure to read Kosa Ely's The Jaguar's Story and to be drawn emotionally into the struggle to preserve the rainforest and its creatures. Readers not only learn about the problem of habitat destruction and endangered species, but also grow in empathy and concern. Both the storytelling and illustrations are superb, and they stay with readers long after the book is closed. The Jaguar's Story should be a curriculum resource in every elementary unit on science and geography, as well as being an excellent addition to any home library. It's a great treasure.
