Author/illustrator Kundu uses crumpled paper to form the animals and then places them within digital environments and photographs the whole. The results--such as an eastern imperial eagle that soars through amber skies and a bulky polar bear on a floe--are striking."<br>--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><p>"Motivate future wildlife conservationists through this series of striking images depicting endangered and at-risk species from around the world. It's a stunning visual blend of art, nature, and zoological facts, with northern white rhinos, snow leopards, and vaquitas sculpted from paper using an original crumpling technique created by author and illustrator Kunal Kundu. Shown in dramatic light and color and at home in their jungles, mountains, and oceans, each animal is introduced with an accompanying informative note."<br>--<b><i>Foreword Reviews</i></b></p><p>"Kundu offers a noteworthy introduction to unusual and often-endangered wildlife. The illustrations, which feature crumpled paper art and digital backgrounds, glow with light and seem more three dimensional than is possible on a page. . . Each page spotlights one animal and provides a few compelling facts. A map showing the locations of each of the animals and a thorough bibliography are included. Kundu provides a work that is valuable as a picture book and as a resource about rare animal life. This vibrant work examines 16 unique and endangered animals. Recommended both for its unconventional visual treatment and the fascinating information that complements the illustrations."<br>--<b><i>School Library Journal</i></b></p><p>"This is for all animal lovers and budding conservationists, especially for those in elementary school grades 1-5. A great introduction to these animals to lead into doing further research."<br>--<b><i>Youth Services Book Review</i></b></p><p>"Sure to be a favorite for kids and adults alike, <i>Wildlife on Paper</i> opens the world wide as you marvel at the gorgeous crumpled paper art journey through the ocean, forest, desert, and more to learn about the diversity of animals and their incredible characteristics. . . Beautifully illustrated throughout, fun and informative."<br>--<b><i>Children's Bookwatch</i></b></p><p>"The artwork blew me away! It is totally unique and amazing. Kunal Kundu cleverly includes a wondrous set of diverse animals; each two page spread is devoted to one animal with a brief yet informative text about the animal accompanied by a portrayal of that animal in his unique style of paper art. This book will definitely excite and inspire young readers to learn more about these endangered animals as well as to try out their hand at paper sculpture or similar crafts. I know I want to!! A cool addition to libraries; especially for young art and wildlife enthusiasts."<br>--<b><i>Lady in Read Writes</i></b></p><p>"The unique illustrations in this book make it a stand out. Each dramatic 2-page spread features a cutout of the animal sculpted from crumpled paper and photographed in a digital environment in Kundu's own signature style that he describes as 'gesture drawing as a paper sculpture.' The effect is a stunning three-dimensional work of art that will captivate children and adults alike. <i>Wildlife on Paper</i> is a treasured keepsake for conservationists and just plain animal lovers."<br>--<b><i>Advice from a Caterpillar</i></b></p><p>"Gorgeous! I was enthralled by the breathtakingly unusual and original art and facts presented about the animals. I've never seen anything like this, and I love it! Stunningly beautiful, unique and important book."<br>--<b>Sy Montgomery</b>, naturalist and author of <i>The Soul of an Octopus</i></p><p>"I chose <i>Wildlife on Paper</i> and Kunal Kundu as a planet protector because of what this self-taught artist is doing to bring awareness around the world about endangered species. . . The stunning result and implications are clear: if we don't act now, animals--from polar bears to elephants-will only be seen by future kids in museums or on paper."<br>--<b>Sandra Neil Wallace, </b> award-winning author and advocate for change</p><p>"What an incredible artform and book!"<br>--<b>Kevin Richardson, </b> author of <i>The Lion Whisperer</i></p><br>
