Description
This book introduces four endangered species--whooping cranes, elephants, monk seals, and polar bears--and describes what is being done to protect them and their habitats.
Quick Summary
Kids get to meet four amazing endangered animals up close while learning how scientists are racing to save them from disappearing forever. The Book of Wonders is packed with surprising facts like how elephants talk through their feet, why polar bears have black skin under all that white fur, and the incredible journeys these animals make across the planet. If your kid loves National Geographic Kids readers or "Wild Animal Babies," they'll be absolutely hooked on this. Perfect for kids ages 5 to 8 in kindergarten through third grade.
