Red-Tail Recovery
series: Ruthie’s wildlife (Book 3)
by Emma J Homes
55 pages – ages 6+
Published by Spark Street Communications Pty Ltd on December 14, 2016
Publishers summary: Ruthie’s wildlife scientist parents are taking on a new challenge – saving the endangered red-tailed black-cockatoo. For Ruthie this means a lot of exciting firsts: living in a house, and not a bus, starting at a ‘real’ school, and the chance to make some friends. As always, Ruthie will be helping her parents with their work, but will it be enough to make a difference for these rare and beautiful birds? And what will Ruthie and her family find themselves up against this time?
What Josie Thought: I really like this book. I liked the other book in this series I read (The Vanishing Frogs of Cascade Creek) and I want to get the first book too. Ruthie is a nice character. Her parents are scientists they travel around Australia in a bus and study wildlife and figure out how to help them. Ruthie and her brother and sister get to go too. That sounds like a pretty cool life. I like science and nature and this book teaches you about the Red-Tail Cockatoo and their habitat. There is a link in the back of the book for a website where there are people actually doing the work of saving the Red-Tail talked about in the book. This is what a Red-Tail looks like –
The chapters in the book aren’t very long so it is a great book for kids who have trouble reading or are starting out. The story is fun to read and I like Ruthie’s smart solution to help the birds when their environment is being destroyed.
I give this book five bookworms
Great review Josie!
Well done, J. This sounds like a fun book. Once I tried to catch a bird, but then I remembered I can’t climb trees. Or fly.
Love and licks,

Well, I say if pigs can fly, I don’t see why dogs can’t! 😉
Great review, Josie. I’d never heard of the red-tail cockatoo. Sounds like an interesting book. 🙂
Josie, thanks for introducing me to this series. I love to discover new fiction about endangered species.
Nice review Josie. How is your aratwork coming along. I’ve always enjoyed looking at the pieces you posted.
