Counting Lions
Katie Cotton
Ten endangered animals appear in this nontraditional counting book. The subjects include pandas, macaws, turtles, giraffes, zebras, lions, penguins, chimpanzees, elephants, and tigers. Free-verse poems lyrically describe the behavior and habitat of the creatures. Detailed charcoal portraits render them realistically while also conveying emotion. The oversized format emphasizes the animals’ size, giving the book an expansive visual presentation of a varied group of endangered wildlife.
