"Wild, fun, and truly eye-opening, Meet the Wild Things gets us up close and personal with some of the world's most amazing creatures. With this series, Hayley and John Rocco are doing more than entertaining our kids--they're inspiring them to care about the future of our planet." -- Brad Meltzer , bestselling author of the Ordinary People Change the World series "Lovely pencil, watercolor, and digital illustrations . Back matter features additional facts, notes on the endangerment of each species, and organizations working to save them. Each title reads like a picture book, making a solid serial option for an informative, nature-inspired read aloud series" -- Booklist "First-person narratives from lovable endangered species encourage children to learn more. In each book, an animal introduces itself in a conversational way--the quokka's fun energetic speech is especially endearing--and shares facts about its species. To keep readers engaged, each animal poses questions to children, such as the sloth asking 'How often do you poop?' or 'Can you swim?' Each narrative also explains the dangers the animals face and what people are doing to help them." -- School Library Journal "Finely detailed illustrations .

An engagingly informal appeal." -- Kirkus Reviews.
