Can We Save the Tiger?
author: Martin Jenkins
illustrator: Vicky White
Tigers, ground iguanas, partula snails, and even white-rumped vultures are in danger of disappearing altogether. Using the experiences of a few endangered species as examples, Martin Jenkins highlights the ways human behavior can either threaten or conserve the amazing animals that share our planet. Vicky White’s stunning portraits of rare creatures offer a glimpse of nature’s grace and beauty — and give us a powerful reason to preserve it.
“A stunningly beautiful book as well as an eloquent appeal and a consciousness raiser.” — The Horn Book
