A thought-provoking book for children aged 5+ years that explores
biodiversity and opens up key discussions about the environment and
the topical issues highlighted in David Attenborough's documentary
Extinction: The Facts. There are estimated to be around 20
quintillion animals living on Earth, but it's tricky to picture so
many animals! So instead, let's imagine just 100 animals at a time
. . . What does it look like? How are animals divided up? How many
species are still to be discovered? Where in the world can wild
mammals be found? And how 'wild' are they really? What are the most
popular pets? How many species are extinct and how many are in
danger? If there had only ever been 100 animals, then 10 are living
and 90 are extinct! IF THE WORLD WERE 100 ANIMALS opens up
discussions and includes tips on how to protect the world we share
- supporting children in becoming global citizens and promoting
empathy, kindness and self-awareness. If we focus on just 100
animals, it's easier to see the things they have in common, and the
things that make them different. So come and meet the animals in
our wildlife park, and think about the big questions that affect
them, and us!
