Description
The book "You Can't See a Dodo at the Zoo" by Fred Ehrlich explores why certain animals like the dodo bird, woolly mammoth, and saber-toothed tiger can no longer be seen at zoos because they are extinct. It provides clear explanations about what caused these animals to disappear from Earth. The book also addresses why some animal species are currently endangered and at risk of extinction. This is written for children ages 5-8 with a reading level of 4.9.
