Animals! Animals! Animals!

Why we love animals, what they do for us, and what we can do for them in return.

45 Minute Program

$300

Raise you hand if you LOVE animals. Me too! My daughter is a zookeeper, and a lot of my animal stories are inspired by her. Elephants, orangutans, rhinos, black-footed ferrets, and sea otters are SO COOL, but they also have important environmental functions. Without them, our planet would look like a different place. We'll talk, we'll write, and we'll figure out ways to ACT!

MATERIALS NEEDED

Sea Otter Heroes, Zoo Scientists to the Rescue, or Eavesdropping on Elephants
Please read at least one of these titles before this Talkabook visit.
Pencil and paper or a writing notebook

RECOMMENDED AGES
Ages 8 and up (family members welcome)
