Photo-packed series explores the stories and science behind animal sanctuaries. An up-close look at what life is like at a real wombat sanctuary in Australia--straight from a wombat himself in a nonfiction chapter book for elementary-aged readers. Includes full-color photos, graphics, and maps.
When Panzer the new baby wombat shows up at Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary in Australia, veteran wombat Chance is excited to show the new gal the ropes. Before any animal can be successfully released back into the wild, many things have to happen. After rescue comes recovery, then rehabilitation, and finally, release into the Australian bush. Those are animal-sanctuary tenets--an animal will remain safe until release or until it dies. Chance and Panzer must learn how to find food, dig, and protect themselves. Young readers will love the dusty, charming crew of sanctuary wombats! Other books in the photo-packed True Tales of Rescue series include Sweet Senior Pups, Anteater Adventure, Raccoon Rescue, Tiger Time, and Go, Goats!
