I don't read many Chicken Soup books, and to be honest, I only picked this up because it was free for kindle. It's actually quite good. The stories are varied between zoos and rescues. The human interaction ranges from keepers, to students, to a 90 year woman. Nice and varied.

This is a part of a trilogy that looks into stories from various institutions participating in the American Humane Conservation Program, which is overseen by the national group American Humane.
As a result of this being an ongoing series, each volume shares with the other different volumes the same Foreword, an explanation on being Humane certified or available for their audits and a small glossary list with descriptive blurbs for the zoos and aquariums listed (even if those locations are not mentioned in the book you just read). There is furthermore the same addition Working To Ensure the Welfare of Animals as well as a list of addresses for the mentioned locations.
Each volume comes with twelve individual stories that include: stories of rescue, animal health interventions such as raising a cheetah cub with a dog, new animal care methods, animal-human therapy and scientific discoveries just to mention a few subjects. Readers are not only provided with information on the titular character but also with additional information about the background issues related to that story.
Each story comes with some included photographs of the events that form the story. But what makes these Kindle books different than others is at the end of each story is a link that allows readers to select the desired volume followed by a quick scroll down to select the chosen story to be able to access further photos as well as the ones included in the stories along with videos showcasing the animal of the story or something again related to the story.
Unfortunately in this volume the videos for Nickel's Reef and Our Undersea Rainforests either are private or don't play on Android even with pop-ups .
Even with so much similarities, each volume is written for a different crowd - vol. 1 ~ elementary, vol. 2 ~ middle school and vol. 3 ~ high school.
All in all they were rather decent stories that showcase just how much is being done to help not just us but also our animal neighbors in their needs.

Not that touching
A compilation of short stories, not that touching compared with other chicken soup volumes. This volume more on how animals and people interacted mainly on aquarium or in zoo or that kind of place, not in its original habitat.

great stories
Wonderful stories, but wanted 101 stories like in all previous books!! I felt shortchanged with a much shorter book than all prior Chicken Soup books!

More photos
The writing is nice but there should definitely be more photographs. This would make it more inviting particularly to a younger audience
