This Bill Martin, Jr. and Eric Carle collaboration features a string of fine feathered, furry, and scaly friends watching over each other. However, all the animals are endangered, from a swinging spider monkey to a strutting macaroni penguin to a splashing sea lion. Carle's trademark tissue paper collages are as familiar as the "Whooping Crane, Whooping Crane, what do you see?" "I see a black panther strolling by me". The story concludes on a hopeful note, with a dreaming child seeing the ten featured animals. Quality children's literature in hardcover. Picture book, 8" x 10", 32 pages and full-color illustrations throughout. Ages 2 yrs. .
