I thought that this book was really interesting how it incorporated the alphabet and interesting animal facts about endangered animals. The illustrations were done in basic colors and the detail was wonderful. (  )D.Holliman | Jun 8, 2009 |   There are more that 5,000 animals that face extinction today. This book takes you through the alphabet, highlighting a variety of animals that are either critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable. leighanngoodwill | Jun 3, 2009 | The introduction discusses our plants and animal life. It also explains the different levels of endangered statuses. Each letter is a drawing incorporating the shape of an endangered animal. There is also a legend on each page giving brief facts such as its habitat and level of endangered status. At the end is further information about each animal. The illustrations are ink drawings that very clearly and simply showcase the animal being portrayed. sroeck | Apr 21, 2009 | An ABC book done in black and white. Each letter is made to look like a different endangered animal. More back ground information is also given about each animal. Beautiful, creative renderings of each letter. (  )missrader | Apr 10, 2009 | This is a great alphabet book that also teaches about endangered animals. The illustrations are black and white letters in the shapes of animals. I can see this book being very useful at many age levels. It could be fun at a kinder to first grade level to talk about the letters and what animal they are shaped like. It could be used at the upper elementary level to talk about what is an endangered animal. I can see it used at a middle school level to talk about different classifications of animals like the class, phylum, etc. (  )renee.sutter | Dec 13, 2008 | 0.071 seconds to build listing

This stampede of wild animals, from Chinese Alligator to Grevy’s Zebra, are so rare, they're all endangered.
