Although recommended for youngsters ages 4 - 7 there's much to be seen and learned for all ages in this colorful flip-the-flap book telling us what animals are in danger and how we can help them.

Frances Barry begins with some interesting facts inside the front cover, such as "Polar bears have black skin underneath their fur" and "African elephants sleep standing up." Next, she expresses the wish that we could save all the animals in the world, and introduces some of them with ingenious flaps, cut-outs and cut pages.

The author concludes with a list of what we can do to help protect and save animals along with a few cautionary notes, such as "Report sick or injured wild animals to an adult or an animal rescue center. Injured animals need help to survive - but be sure not to touch them!"

LET'S SAVE THE ANIMALS not only increases awareness but encourages youngsters to take an active part in protecting our wildlife.

Imagine a world without panda bears, penguins, or even green turtles. What a terrible loss that would be. Unfortunately, that might be where we are heading unless we make some pretty big changes in the way we treat our environment. Let's Save the Animals: A flip-the-flap book raises awareness of these issues with our children, the most important resources we have for helping secure a healthy environment for the future.

Children will be drawn to the illustrations which use elements of different textures to give a 3 dimensional experience. Flaps are also used which can be opened to reveal important message about the animal and how its habitat is affected by man-made dangers of environmentally unfriendly practices.

There is something for every child, from the youngest who will enjoy identifying the animals, to older children reading this book and getting ideas on what they can do to keep the animals safe. Let's Save the Animals: A flip-the-flap book is highly recommended for Earth Day lesson plans and home reading.
