Grades 1-3 Some of the world's most vulnerable species are exhibited for young readers in the Animals at Risk series (6 new titles). Each title introduces the endangered animal, how many species exist and where they live, how endangered they are, what's threatening their survival, and straightforward ways to help protect them. The simply worded text is well supported by attractive animal photos, range maps, and helpful infographics. Giant Anteaters highlights the need for large home ranges and clear migratory paths in the face of habitat loss and road construction, so that these magnificently snouted creatures can continue to control ant and termite populations. All volumes emphasize the importance of slowing climate change to protect these animals and the good they do for their respective environments. The series' bright design and high-interest subjects are sure to engage new readers.
