This book deals in depth on the breeding of Rhinoceros, specifically the Sumatran rhinoceros. There is a glossary in the back in case readers do not know some of the words. Although the book discusses the Sumatran rhinoceros in detail it also gives fact sheets on the other rhinos species. This is a great book for older children that are interested in animals. It touched on the conservation of animals and what readers can do to help. It has detailed photographs that made the book more personal with the readers and the animals.
