Covering a wide range of genres--from natural history to fiction--these books look at the world with eyes of the young, exploring and probing the little-known from starting places close to home.

From the Inside Flap:
About the Author:
Practically everyone knows about the hippopotamus--and probably even the newt. But how many have heard of the babirusa, the jabiru or the okapi?
In this intriguing book, young readers meet twelve species of rare wild animals--from the terrier-size pudu, the world's tiniest deer, to the fearsom ten-foot-long lizard known as the Komodo dragon. Along with introducing children to this unusual wildlife, author Patricia Curtis conveys an important message: Many of these animals are in danger of disappearing from the earth forever--because of habitat destruction, pollution, and overhunting--before we can even get to know them.
The strange names, unique appearance, and unusual habits of these animals will delight young readers. The author's plea for their protection is sure to strike a chord of sympathy for their plight.
Patricia Curtis is the author of more than a dozen children's books about animals, including All Wild Creatures Welcome, Dogs on the Case, and Animals and the New Zoos. She has also written numerous magazine articles on wildlife and on companion animals. When she's not writing at her cimputer, Pat enjoys serving as a docent at the Propect Park Wildlife Center in Brookyln, New York-and, most of all, spending time with her young grandson, Patrick.
