Count Them While You Can: A Book of Endangered Animals

by Ann Bowman

Summary: Describes the habits of endangered animals.

This book contains a story in rhyme that flows like a poem. Children are invited to count the animals on each page. On opposite pages of the story, there are facts about endangered animals. For this reason, the book can be enjoyed by a large age range. An adult could read the story part with young children and encourage them to count. An early school age teacher could read the story aloud to a class and then provide the book during open read time for students who are interested in the facts. Older school age children may use facts in this book to supplement a report on endangered species.
