媒体评论
“每一幅拼贴画都值得，从对瀑布和热带雨林的描绘，到帆船、危险，当然还有鹦鹉。从威风凛凛的封面插图到背面俏皮的图片，简直太壮观了。”
——柯克斯评论，星级评论
“很少有非虚构类绘本会尝试到这种程度，成功的更是少之又少......罗斯令人惊叹的艺术作品——飘动的、由织物和纸张组成的三维质感的纹理拼贴画——与有趣的叙事相得益彰，并且垂直排列在两页纸之间，充分利用了高大树木和下方相关的人类活动。成功提醒人们的行为和野生动物之间不可避免的联系。”

“就像这个团队的《红树林》（The Mangrove Tree，Lee & Low，2011）一样，这个书名为环境恢复提供了一个迷人的、充满希望的视角。”
——学校图书馆杂志，星级评论
“对人类行为帮助和伤害动物种群的方式进行深思熟虑和彻底的研究。”
——出版者周刊，星级评论
