“A wonderful, scientific-based children’s book such as “Operation Orangutan” makes one yearn to be a primary grade classroom teacher. What delight it would bring to observe the wheels turning as knowledge is sifted, inspiring young citizens to become protectors of the world’s incredibly wonderful, but endangered, species…The book, the latest in Amanda Lumry and Laura Hurwitz’ cutting-edge series on contemporary topics in environmental education, is a surefire winner.”
-Susan Farrington, The Sanford Herald
"The Riley series is for the very curious child and his parents or caregivers willing to answer the many questions that will be stimulated by the story and the facts presented...Most kids will finish this book eager to read another, learn more about the orangutans and other wild animals, and dream of their own adventures just like Riley’s.”
