(4) 4-6 National Geographic Kids Mission series. These comprehensive introductions feature facts about the titular animal, anecdotes about individuals, updates from scientists working in the field, and challenges to species survival. Each chapter ends with "rescue activities," ranging from simple energy-saving suggestions to specific ways to help these animals to vague political actions. Excellent photos are eye-catching, but the page design is busy. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers the following titles: Mission: Elephant Rescue and Mission: Polar Bear Rescue.
