Say hello to a pangolin, and learn all about this incredible endangered species--and why they need protecting--in this clever, funny, and informative nonfiction picture book, illustrated by a Caldecott Honoree. "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 Did you know pangolins are the only mammals with scales? Not even the teeth of a lion can break through their tough armor. And did you know pangolins have a super-sticky tongue as long as their entire body? (The better to eat 20,000 bugs a day with!) Chock-full of amazing, kid-friendly facts and inviting artwork from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of Blackout, the Meet the Wild Things series introduces young readers to endangered animals from around the globe, told from the points of view of the animals themselves.

"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
