Beautiful illustrations are the most prominent feature of this poetry book featuring endangered animals from all over the world.  The poems are written on a primary level, K-2 would appreciate the language.  However, the illustrations appeal to every age, and will draw the adult reader in with the facts and pictures.  I would have liked the author to include an insert graphic of world map highlighting the region of the animal being featured.  This book has passion and beautiful illustrations while delivering a message about endangered creatures who are facing dwindling time on our planet.
