"First published in the U.K. in 2015 by Frances Lincoln Children's Books"--Title page verso.
Exquisite charcoal drawings of ten endangered creatures--lions, elephants, giraffes, pandas, tigers, chimpanzees, penguins, turtles, macaws, and zebras--startle the viewer with their size and astonishing detail. A poetic text notes each creature's particular qualities and behavior, while providing a quiet counting exercise and a reminder that these animals must be cherished and protected.

Amazing Illustrations submitted by aynsley on June 21, 2018, 4:54pm This is an amazing book for all ages! The illustrations are so life-like. My toddler loves the giant format when usually all she gets are board books. The poetic text is short enough to hold a toddler's interest but creative and informative enough for an adult. All this while teaching numbers/counting. Great book!
