From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Mullins' incredibly detailed collage artwork highlights animals which are in danger of becoming extinct in this alphabet book with an environmental twist. From A (Pink Fairy Armadillo) to Z (Cape Mountain Zebra), each page is alive with natural color and form. Information provided for the animals includes their common and scientific names and the countries or regions in which they are found - for now. (Ages 5-10)
