PreS-Gr 2-Young environmentalists and animal lovers will appreciate this Spanish series about six endangered species: honey bees, sea turtles, bluefin tuna, orangutans, polar bears, and black rhinoceroses. Two or three simple sentences and full-page color photographs make this an ideal series for both beginning readers with help from a caregiver and older readers with an interest in animal activism. Each book covers a different species, where they're found, their lifespan, why they're in danger, and specific things readers can do to protect their favorite animal friends. Consistent with other ABDO series, unfamiliar concepts are bolded for added comprehension, as well as a bulleted list of main points at the end, which sums up all the topics covered. Text size is appropriate for early readers. VERDICT With high-quality design and translation, this series will inspire a future generation of passionate environmentalists.
