The Storm Leopards (Winter Journeys) Paperback – September 14, 2021

This is a lovely story about a British girl who, after learning about snow leopards and conservation efforts, wakes up in a tent in Mongolia the next day. She is invisible to everyone but the little girl in the family, who needs help to protect a snow leopard mother and cubs from hunters.Great way to help kids learn, and the environment is well described, with the challenges of living here quite clear. I think the book would suit anyone from six to ten, girls especially, and older readers who are interested. Gorgeous drawings help to make everything clear. At the end is a note from the author with details on how to support a snow leopard conservation project.This is an unbiased review.

The legendary Holly has written another superb winter themed story that made me laugh and cry. I love how Holly's winter themed books introduce me to life in a society I know little about. I spend minutes not seconds looking at the cute detailed illustrations which combined with Holly's epic storytelling (I'm a fangirl and proud!) make me feel like I'm there.It was a bit hard emotionally to read because I know there are lots of animals who are endangered thanks to people doing what their ancestors did, not realising that we do have a duty of care to animals too. Snow leopards are my favourite big cat because of their colouring, making the touching scenes Isabelle has with the cubs that bit more memorable for me. Another to add to my growing collection of Holly books!I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner [...]

What an exciting read for young readers. The Storm Leopards by Holly Webb snowy mystical setting that happens during the Christmas Season but is actually not a Christmas story. So it is a story that could be read anytime of the year with only a nudge in the direction of enjoying children to think more than of themselves with their Christmas wish list.This story begins with a family outing to a zoo but turns into a magical visit to Mongolia where she meets a new friend and works to protect the gravely endangered snow leopards. Easy to read with many black and white drawings, this chapter book would hold a third grader’s attention who would eagerly be able to independently read The Storm Leopards.The added information after the story is most interesting too. I would recommend this book to any animal loving child. I am sure that they would be dreaming of such an adventure.The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.
