About book Can We Save The Tiger?. By Martin Jenkins (2011)
Exquisite illustrations of extinct and endangered species. Simpler text is interspersed with "read-aloud optional" in-depth text with statistics and specs on each animal discussed. Some stories of why and how animals were endangered and either made extinct or saved are also shared. Nicely balanced book between beauty and a difficult, complex topic. Could be shared with kids as young as, say, 2nd or 3rd grade, but I doubt I'd share it with much younger. I would, however, share this with any person older . . . even adults.
