As a species they are extremely endangered, and the book recounts the natural and man made disasters that nearly wiped them out. Ever the resilient critter, the Bandicoot’s made their home in the automotive rublish yards of Victoria, Australia and learned to adapt for survival. It took the dedication of individuals to preserve Bandicoot environments and offer sanctuary in zoos. Light, colorful watercolor and pencil illustrations guide the reader through the journey of these beloved creatures. mm |
