Through Endangered Eyes: Is a collection of poems, about different species that have been endangered and threatened.
Along with these poems, there are beautiful illustrations, and great descriptions of each specie.  This book would be a great way to introduce a thematic unit on endangered species.

Gone Wild: Is a alphabet picture book
Gone Wild, has bold illustrations that transform each letter into a work of art, graphically rendered with animal characteristics. Scales, horns, and even insect wings transform the alphabet into animated life.

  1. These books look like they have great illustrations. I think I would look through them just for that reason.
    The alphabet book not only reinforces the letters but it also exposes students to what an endangered species is.

  3. Score! Not only can you use these books to reinforce and learn about the topic, but to introduce some really creative ways to express oneself through art. The illustrations in both books will inspire your students to create their own masterpieces and give them an avenue to express their thoughts on these animals.
