Pandas in Danger

by Michael Portman

Overview

Cute and playful creatures, pandas are one of the most beloved animals in the world. The only wild pandas live deep in the forests of China. That country’s growing population is a great threat to the small number of remaining pandas. Deforestation, food shortages, and illegal hunting all play roles in endangering pandas today. Readers will learn about pandas, cubs, and what they need to survive in their habitats through a thoughtful narrative supported by fact boxes and graphic organizers. Colorful photographs reveal the beauty of the unique creatures that desperately need our help.
