This book I think belongs in the young readers picture book area, I think that it should be a little longer which would make it more interesting.
It is about a little girl named Rosie that lived in Tasmania who tells the story of the last thylacine when it was to be a protected species and the last one of its kind had died.
This book is for kids around 5 to 8 years old. The story line is very good and it feels like it is a true story, and it’s got a sort of atmosphere which makes you want to know more about the story as you read more. The illustrations are very good, colourful and life like; its very well done, better than me. The words are easy to read, big and clear. I am probably a bit too old for this book but I still like it; I think it’s interesting.
