Planet Animal: Saving Earth's Disappearing Animals
. Barron's Educational Series, $22.99 (28pp) ISBN 978-0-7641-6205-3
This interactive, oversize book pairs information about endangered species and their habitats with attention-grabbing details. Accompanying full-color photographs are panels, tabs and removable cards that enliven animal descriptions (gharials have long, pointy snouts packed with teeth) along with reasons that each is endangered. In the Saving the turtles section, lifting an image of a sea turtle reveals panels about their birthing habits. For all the showy visuals, the stark message is resounding: Can you imagine a world without gorillas, tigers, and polar bears? Ages 8up. ""(May)"" .
