Little People, BIG DREAMS | Steve Irwin

The boy who grew up in a wildlife refuge and became the Crocodile Hunter.

Steve's parents started a wildlife refuge when he was small, so he and his sisters grew up helping care for injured animals. He caught his first crocodile at nine — to move it somewhere safe. That instinct never changed.

The book follows him from the refuge to international television fame, and then to what he did with it: nature reserves, a conservation charity, and two children raised to love wildlife as much as he did. His family carry the work on today through Australia Zoo and Wildlife Warriors. A brilliant one for animal-mad kids.
