by Katie Cotton (Author), Stephen Walton (Illustrator)
A spectacular, visually stunning celebration of wildlife--and gentle counting book--that can be enjoyed by the entire family.
Exquisite charcoal drawings of ten endangered creatures--lions, elephants, giraffes, pandas, tigers, chimpanzees, penguins, turtles, macaws, and zebras--startle the viewer with their size and astonishing detail. A poetic text notes each creature's particular qualities and behavior, while providing a quiet counting exercise and a reminder that these animals must be cherished and protected.
