      Grades 3-5 The Save the . . . series (2 new titles) focuses on the importance of protecting animal species around the world. The books utilize black-and-white photos and clear, concise text that includes facts about its featured animal, why it's protected, and the environment in which this creature thrives. This content is divided into four chapters, which also include suggestions for keeping each at-risk animal protected and a short profile on a species ambassador, helping readers feel an increased connection to the cause at hand. In Turtles, readers learn about where turtles live, from the desert to bodies of water, and get to meet Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise, who--at over 190 years old--holds the title of being the oldest land animal on Earth. Plastics pollution and global warming are highlighted as major threats to turtles' survival. Each book concludes with fun facts about its creature, a list of ways for people to help, suggested reading, and source notes. Written in an engaging, easy-to-read style, this series works for both research and personal reading.
