Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild - ESSENTIAL

Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild by Catherine Thimmesh 60 pages. NON FICTION Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2018 $18.00

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE, MS - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

The Giant Panda of China is in danger of becoming extinct. Mostly because its habitat has been altered, and it only eats bamboo. So, a concerted effort has been made to reintroduce cubs in to the wild. 

Thimmesh has given us a well documented informational text, full of full color photos (the humans who help dress up in panda suits) of pandas as well as other threatened and endangered animals. Includes a glossary, source notes, biographies of the experts as well as a link to the Pandas International website, and ways you can help. Kids will pick this up for the cover picture, and the easily accessible text will be a draw for the middle school kids.
