Astonishing Aye-Ayes to Zany Zorillas

Take a trip around the globe and meet some of the world’s animals, one for each letter of the alphabet. Illustrated by a BC student, its vivid and life-like illustrations capture each species in great detail, and the information provides details about the animal, including where it lives, its food, and how it survives. It also explores the vulnerability of each animal—making this a timely resource and allowing students to reflect on social and ecological urgency when learning about some endangered species. A suitable resource for an intermediate classroom, this book may spark interest and encourage further inquiry. It could be read aloud, or an individual page could be introduced to highlight a particular animal that students may not yet be familiar with, inviting students to explore these different species or specific animal adaptations.
