‘Les animaux en danger’

les animaux en danger - le toboggan

In French, from 3yo.

This is the perfect book to bring awareness to animals in danger. Teach your child about the causes of animal extinction and how humans contribute to it. By losing their habitat, wild animals come closer to human dwellings and it often ends up in hunts. Some of us also collect trophies or believe that by consuming some body part it will bring us health.

However, we can still reverse some of this trend by engaging in programs that will protect the animals and ensuring we preserve what is left of their natural habitat.
