ISBN 978-1-4358-2813-1 . LC 2008031800. ea vol: illus. by Andrew Geeson & Marijke Veldhoven. 32p. (Save the... Series). maps. photos. glossary. index. CIP. Rosen/PowerKids Pr. 2009. PLB $23.95. Gr 1-3 Students will love these books, which include suggestions on how to help endangered animals. Each colorful spread presents a question ("Why Are Orangutans So Special?") and provides an answer through facts, large color photographs, and a "Save the" or a "Did You Know?" bubble. A large-print sentence that often snakes across the spread presents the animal in the first person, giving readers information from a different perspective (Panda asserts that "I am the height of a pony when I stand on all fours"). The books provide the basics: where the animals live, how they communicate (addressed in spreads with headings such as "How Do Polar Bears Talk?"), and what they eat, and several questions and answers specifically related to the title creature. Good resources for young researchers. Marilyn Teicher, New York City Public Schools

Orangutans are special. The orangutan is the only ape that lives in Asia. All other apes live in Arica. But orangutans are in danger. If we dont do more to help them, fewer and fewer orangutans will live in the wild. This book tells students what can be done to help this endangered animal.
