The Late, Great Endlings

Key Selling Points

A beautifully illustrated book for introducing children to the concepts of endangered and extinct animals. Ideal for both story time and classroom learning; certain to prompt further discussion about habitat loss and climate activism. Profiles eight extinct species of mammals, birds, amphibians, insects and marsupials. Some of these species only exist as grainy photos or deteriorating taxidermied specimens, so this book brought them back to life through stunning paintings. Refers to the many species that could be extinct by 2050, such as polar bears, chimpanzees, lowland gorillas, monarch butterflies and koala bears. Scientists believe we're currently at the start of a 6th mass extinction. It's estimated that 50% of all species on Earth now could face extinction by 2120. Includes seven suggestions for what kids can do to get involved.
