In a thoughtful presentation on possible animal extinction, the realistic illustrations of animals accompany text with information about some that no longer live on earth like dodos; ones that are threatened with extinction like tigers and polar bears; and others like buffalo whose populations have responded to intervention. Readers can either gloss over the information about these animals in a smaller and fainter font than the main text or gain an understanding of each animal’s origin. Backmatter includes websites and index. Seven to Ten. Lynda Adamson

Beautiful pencil and oil paint illustrations depict a wide array of endangered animals, drawing readers into their plight, while the text provides facts about species as diverse as tigers, partula snails, and white-rumped vultures.
