Fast Track: Animals in Danger

Take a look inside

This appealing series encourages young readers to learn about animals û some familiar, and some less so. Around the world, animals of all types are under threat from habitat loss, environmental changes, and human action. These animals are fascinating, but they are also key parts of larger ecosystems, so if their numbers drop, other species could be affected too. Each book is arranged in spreads that flow naturally from one to the next, so that readers can build their understanding. Fact boxes add extra information on some spreads. Each book ends with information on conservation efforts, a fact file, graphing activity, glossary, suggestions of other books to read and web sites to visit, and a simple index.
