Animal Ark: Celebrating our Wild World in Poetry and Pictures

This pairing of dramatic photographs of more than 40 animals, considered vulnerable, endangered, or extinct in the wild, with poetry and prose captivates and compels readers to protect Earth’s many species. The poetry poignantly portrays the effects of human error and natural disaster on wildlife. Suitable for grades K-7, it is a celebration of the unique and miraculous creatures in our world and a reminder to protect our home and respect all animals. Useful for both study of at-risk animals and poetry study, the resource can stimulate discussion of endangered animals, sustainability, social responsibility, ecosystems, animal kingdoms, wildlife, and habitat loss.
