This alphabet book provides factual information about twenty-six extinct animals' original habitats and life cycles and mentions causes and dates of their extinction. Color illustrations show readers what these animals looked like. Nearly all of the animals are extinct due to human activity, either directly wiped out by hunting or indirectly by disruption of their natural habitats. Addresses of wildlife protection groups are included.
