Skink on the Brink tells the story of a little lizard that is on the brink of extinction. The book is full of interesting facts about the Skink such as habitat, life-cycle and more.Skink on the Brink is illustrated by Suzanne Del Rizzo. The pictures in this book are absolutely amazing! They are stunning.
The cover says the book is 'A Tell-Me-More! Storybook'. The books are published in Ontario, Canada in 2013 which means lots of up to date Canadian content - something I look for when purchasing library books. If I remember correctly, grade 4 has a unit on extinct animals in the curriculum. This would be a great book for that unit.
I read this book with my son who is starting grade 4 in the fall and he really enjoyed it. I will definitely look for more books in this series and be adding this series to my fall shopping list.
