Bibliophile's Corner

Don't Let Them Disappear
by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Gianna Marino

Flap Copy Description:
Did you know that blue whales are the largest animals in the world? Or that sea otters wash their paws after every meal? The world is filled with millions of animal species, and all of them are unique and special. Many are on the path to extinction.

In this book, Chelsea Clinton introduces young readers to a selection of endangered animals, sharing what makes them special, and also what threatens them. Taking readers through the course of a day, Don’t Let Them Disappear talks about rhinos, tigers, whales, pandas and more, and provides helpful tips on what we all can do to help prevent these animals from disappearing from our world entirely.

With warm and engaging art by Gianna Marino, this book is the perfect read for animal-lovers and anyone who cares about our planet.
 


My Thoughts:
This recently released picture book Don't Let Them Disappear, by Chelsea Clinton, is both beautiful and powerful. It would be a wonderful way to teach children about the endangered status of twelve of our most beloved animal species. At the end of this important book there is a  section dealing with why animals become endangered, as well as what each of us can do to help the animals threatened with extinction. I highly recommend Don't Let Them Disappear to children of all ages!
