In this beautiful search-and-find book, readers are invited to find
a variety of endangered animals within their habitats. Densely
detailed landscapes of a rainforest, coral reef, mountains and
skies are harbouring within them numbats, and snow leopards and
mountain gorillas. Isabella Bunnell's glorious watercolours makes
the job of scouring the images even more fun. At the back of the
book a glossary lends an additional educational element, describing
each species in detail and explaining why they are endangered. In
these urgent times, awareness of the rich bio-diversity of our
planet has never been more vital. This is a great way of getting
children as young as three engaging with environmental issues.
