Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The author/illustrator team of Sandra Markle and Alan Marks has had a profound impact on the world of children's nonfiction with their collaborative efforts on books about different animals around the world. From wolves in Yellowstone to penguins in Antarctica, readers and critics have raved about the way in which Markle and Marks share their stories and information about animals in the wild.
In their newest project, readers are introduced to twin snow leopard cubs and their mother from the Hindu Kush mountains of Pakistan. Lyrical, informative text and stunning watercolor illustrations lead readers through the struggles these snow leopards face--from finding food to bearing harsh weather conditions--and the lessons the young cubs learn as they prepare for a life on their own, out from underneath the watchful, caring eye of their mother.
Back matter includes further resources and facts as well as an author's note about the research process and information about how we can help this endangered species.
Includes bibliographical references.
Twin snow leopard siblings survive their first year of life in Pakistan's Hindu Kush mountains by learning critical skills from their mother, including how to hunt, where to find shelter, and to stay away from humans.
