The Nature Kid's Guide to Pangolins: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Pangolins! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181789)

Many kids have never even heard of a pangolin. But this shy, armored creature is one of nature's most extraordinary inventions. It walks upright on its back legs, shoots a tongue longer than its own head into ant tunnels, and can curl so tightly into a ball that even a lion cannot pull it open.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Pangolins" takes children ages 7-12 deep into the forests and grasslands of Africa and Asia to meet all eight kinds of this remarkable animal. Written for Level 2 readers in short, confidence-building sentences, this book reveals how pangolin scales are made of the same material as your fingernails, how a mother wraps her armored body around her baby like a living safe, and how a single pangolin can eat more than 70 million insects in a year.

The animal most kids have never heard of -- but will never forget.

Your child will discover that pangolin tongues coil up inside their chests like a spring, that baby pangopups ride on their mother's tail through the dark forest, and that these gentle creatures are sadly the most trafficked mammals on Earth. Learning their story is the first step toward saving them.

Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kid's Guide series. This scaly, curling, tongue-flicking wonder is ready to be their next favorite.
