What do masked bobwhites, Hawaiian hawks, harpy eagles, and Kitti’s hog-nosed bats have in common? They, along with many other birds, are endangered species.

Reviews

School Library Journal

“The poems are well positioned on the full-page, full-color paintings of the animals. Together they evoke an emotional response that facts alone fail to provide.”
School Library Journal

Science and Children

“One of the strengths of this series [Vanishing from] is the variety of animals covered. . . each book in this series will be a wonderful addition to any school library.”
