A gorgeously illustrated tribute to animals that no longer live on our planet, paired with information on how we can save future species This exploration of animals that we have lost over the past century, from the California grizzly to the Persian tiger, aims to create awareness and inspire children to act responsibly toward their environment. Each animal's story of how it came to extinction is told through graphically stunning illustrations and information packed spreads. Further scientific resources and profiles of animals that have been rediscovered or successfully reintroduced into the wild empower children with the knowledge and tools necessary to aid in conservation and encourage sustainability.

This oversized picture book tells the story of the recent extinctions of felines, reptiles, swimmers, birds, amphibians, marsupials, primates, and other groups of animals, accompanied with drawings of the lost animals that will make your heart wrench with sadness. The text is just perfect for children, with just the right amount of information, and the pictures highlight the fascinating details of the now-extinct animals. This is a book I want to share with my naturalist friends and librarians.
