(4) K-3 Lightning Bolt Books: Animals in Danger series. This brief, sketchlike survey begins with a vague definition ("Invertebrates are animals without backbones. There are many types of invertebrates") and includes random kid-friendly facts about a handful of endangered and extinct creatures (e.g., Oahu tree snail, staghorn coral) alongside eye-catching photos and illustrations. Suggestions for how to help and a page about the back-from-the-brink ladybird spider are included. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
