    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.
