Bindi Wildlife Adventures #10

by Bindi Irwin, Chris Kunz

Come and join Bindi Irwin on her next wildlife adventure!

At very short notice, the Irwins are called on to run an ecolodge in Madagascar for a fortnight. They arrive to find the place deserted, and realise they have a lot of work to do before a bus load of American tourists arrive. Madagascar is full of the most amazing wildlife - lemurs and chameleons galore - and it doesn't take long before Bindi and Robert are on a hair-raising lemur rescue mission, which is a lot more exciting than sweeping floors and tidying beds at the ecolodge!

We read it while researching Madagascar. Miss 6 thought it was ok and was interested in the illegal animal smuggling / protecting lemurs. What I felt uncomfortable with was that it felt very white colonial in it's approach - the local Malagasy people are really only involved in the book as paid domestic staff or when discussing 'local superstitions'. I'm uncertain how a Malagasy reader would feel about the book.

Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.
