About the Book

The team behind the award-winning APE returns with an inspiring look at a range of endangered species sure to engage every child who loves animals. (Ages 5-7) Tigers are pretty special -- and so are ground iguanas and partula snails and even white-rumped vultures. But these and many other animals are in danger of disappearing altogether, joining the dodo, the marsupial wolf, the great auk, and countless other animals we will never see again. Using the experiences of a few endangered species as examples, Martin Jenkins highlights the ways human behavior can either threaten or conserve the amazing animals that share our planet. Vicky White's stunning portraits of rare creatures offer a glimpse of nature's grace and beauty -- and give us a powerful reason to preserve it. Back matter includes online resources and an index.

She made her picture book debut with Ape. She lives in Middlesex, England.

Review :
Magnificent artwork and a careful balance of good and bad news are the strengths of this examination of endangered species. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) From big, beautiful tigers to the lowly partula snail, the stunning illustrations in this album of endangered species accompany a familiar message: Human actions change the world in ways that affect many other species. --Kirkus Review (starred review) The artist draws readers in through the eyes of the animals, making it nearly impossible to deny them the attention and respect that their plight deserves....The collection of success stories works as inspiration and provides a clear indication that yes, we can save the tiger, but it requires action, hard work, conscious decisions, and books like this one in the hands of children --School Library Journal (starred review) Seldom has the gloomy subject of species extinction appeared in such a handsome form...Rather than bludgeoning children with dire eco facts, biologist Martin Jenkins takes a conversational approach...Vicky White's beautiful pencil illustrations lend the message an especially haunting quality --Wall Street Journal A stunningly beautiful book as well as an eloquent appeal and consciousness raiser. --The Horn Book (starred review)
