ALA/Booklist

Starred Review
This informational picture book uses Daniele's Manimali, or Handimals in English, to highlight 16 threatened and endangered animal species around the world. A concluding roundup offers even more facts about each animal, particularly why humans have caused it to become vulnerable and endangered. Plenty of animal titles abound, but few are as quirky and enthralling as this picture book.

Kirkus

Daniele crafts animal heads of startling realism. A worthy successor to Mario Mariotti and Roberto Marchriori's Hanimals, with a low-key message about the importance of animal conservation carried in a handful of nature notes.
