ReviewedBlack-footed ferrets tunnel underneath the Great Plains. But these animals were once thought to be extinct. Leveled text and vibrant images teach readers about the struggles of this animal as well as the ways that humans are trying to bring them back. A map feature highlights the animal’s range, while other features show off its conservation status and life span, introduce the causes of the threat to the animal, and showcase its importance to the environment.
'Black-footed ferrets once lived across the Great Plains, but their numbers diminished as their habitat was destroyed. This informational text gives facts about black-footed ferrets as well as information as to why they are at risk. The reader learns why black-footed ferrets are important and ways that we can help them. The text is 2-3 sentences per page with photographs. The book includes many text features that aid the reader in their learning including maps, diagrams, and a glossary.', Amy Covey, South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
