In Gorillas in Danger, young readers will follow gorillas living in the volcanic mountains of Rwanda as they learn about their natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, lifecycle, and behavior. Yet mountain gorillas are an endangered species, with fewer than 700 left. Can the gorillas be saved? Produced in association with conservation experts, Gorillas in Danger details efforts to reverse the threat to our wildlife, and even suggests how children can help. Full-color wildlife photographs, habitat map, and hi-lo text encourage children to become wildlife advocates.
