K-Gr 4 With the specific focus on threats to the animals' survival, each of these titles provides a good introduction to the reasons they are endangered. In addition to basic background information for each animal, including physical description, species and types, diet, habitat, and reproduction, the author presents readers with a look at the circumstances that have led to its current status. The large, colorful photographs will immediately draw attention to these titles, while the inset maps, "Wild Fact" text boxes (e.g., "The warmth of the sand decides whether a [sea turtle's] egg will become a male or female sea turtle"), and color-blocked captions supplement the basic texts. The clear, easy-to-understand language presents a difficult topic in a child-friendly manner. Each book ends with a hopeful look to the future by examining the efforts of conservation and preservation groups working to save the animals.
