This book highlights 100 endangered species from around the world and looks at the work being done to bring them back from the brink of extinction.

100 Endangered Species is a little book with a big ambition: to highlight 100 endangered species from around the world and the work being done to bring them back from the brink of extinction. It began as part of the 100-Day Project on Instagram, where the author teamed up with the People&;s Trust for Endangered Species to illustrate one new species every day for 100 days. From giant anteaters to Andean bears, seahorses to sungazer lizards, it explores the incredible species that we&;re in danger of losing for ever, highlighting their plight and the conservation efforts having a direct, positive impact on the ground. Packed with exquisite illustrations, fascinating facts and essential maps and charts, it is both a beautiful gift and a shout-out to future generations to get involved with protecting our precious wildlife.

Arvustused

A beautifully illustrated book featuring 100 endangered species that NEED our help to stop them from becoming extinct. Each entry details their habitat, where in the world they live, their threats and how endangered they are, followed by a full character description and what wildlife experts and local are trying to do to save their lives for years to come. * Wrd About Books magazine * An absolutely captivating book; beautifully illustrated and full of fascinating facts. 100 Endangered Species is written with the purpose of highlighting the concern about the top 100 endangered animals. Clear, succinct and scientific vocabulary and the detailed yet simply laid out illustrations focus the readers attention on how distinctive each animal is and how each one enriches our world. It is packed full of engaging, relevant, information with an impact on the reader as they read. There is so much to learn and be genuinely absorbed by. Although the author is widening our knowledge of a desperately worrying situation, the book feels empowering and hopeful. 100 Endangered Species is fantastic non- fiction with a real sense of purpose. -- Jennifer Caddick, teacher * Reading Zone * 100 Endangered Species has the cute appeal of a gift book but an admirably serious purpose. ...The graphic illustrations capture the spirit of the animals in a personal way and are accompanied by some fascinating facts that make it fun to browse through. ...a summary of current conservation actions to address the threats to the survival of these amazing animals emphasises that things that can still be done to help them. We all need hope, most especially children. -- Louisa Farrow, teacher * Reading Zone * This book provides a fantastic introduction to endangered species for children (recommended age 8+). The layout of this book is very clear and user friendly. The contents pages have small illustrations of each species and their names making it easy to find the species youre interested in learning about. Each spread, with a beautiful accompanying illustration, is dedicated to a species with their Red List status





...thank you Rachel Hudson @rhudsonillustration for writing such an important book that will hopefully encourage 1000s of people to help these amazing species directly or indirectly. * @homeplaylearn * This book was so exciting and interesting to explore. It has amazing illustrations and I really love how each page features a different endangered species with key information and facts about the species and the work being done to try and save them. The environmental issues facing our planet are a really important issue to me so I think this is a wonderful book for any childs bookshelf. Its amazing for helping kids from about age 6 and up to understand the importance of all the different species on the planet and the impact that we as humans are having on them and their habitats. This book has brilliant illustrations, a helpful glossary at the back, and really accessible information. Its a super book to dip in and out of and to come back to again and again. * A Pocketful of Books blog * This square chunky book is a joy to flip throughsort of. ...This would be a super handy reference material in a classroom. Or, if you happen to reside with a tiny professor, perhaps a bedtime story. * The Tiny Activists * This is a stunning book... the illustrations, theyre just perfect and super detailed. ...The book is jam packed full of facts and information about each animal.  * @the_little_adventurer * 100 Endangered Species by @rhudsonillustration is a little book that packs a BIG punch! This brilliant introductory collection of 100 animals that are in danger is a powerful reminder of how fragile the planet is. The little book is packed with interesting creatures, succinct text, maps, charts and little snippets on what we can do to help. The design of the book is engaging and the repeating layout makes it easy for children to navigate the page. But it is the illustrations that sing. Rachel hasnt been afraid to leave white space, or place a piece of art in the corner of a page. It makes the animals stand out starkly against their backdrop, letting them impart their message with courage and simplicity. I love it! * @bookishwaytoplay * If you want a book that has bold and beautiful illustrations, is jam packed with facts and information and is for all the family then this is for you! This book is also enlightening as I was quite shocked at some of the endangered animals on the list and how little time some of them have left! ...The illustrations are beautiful and the colours are fabulous and as a family, we totally love this wonderful and sad but informative book. * @this_sonny_day * A stylish, interesting read and has been executed so well. We love it already! * @alittlebookhabit * My children always love information books that have interesting and unusual facts, but especially books that they can read a bit at a time and return to again and again and again. I love that this is educating both teacher and students on the very real issue of endangered animals. ...This is a hook of urgency, but not one without hope. * @betweenthecoversofagoodbook *
