Review:

A mom sits with her two children to read them a bedtime story. In gentle rhyme she speaks of how momma animals snuggle up with their babies for a good nights rest. Readers will see beautiful illustrations of wallaby’s, condors, owls, fawns  and even toucans. Each animal is presented in their natural habitat and shows how their mommas protect them while they sleep.

This precious lullaby shares a story of endangered animals and how conservation efforts are saving wildlife successfully. In the Great Lakes region the swan population has risen to over 17,000 birds. In the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge green sea turtles have grown, as well as, the bald eagle through out the United States. The back pages have the illustrations of the animals along with their names and where they can be found. Other resource links are included so readers can learn more. Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to discuss endangered animals and how kids can help save them.
