Counting Lions by Katie Cotton
Counting Lions is an over-sized counting book with some of the most outstanding charcoal drawings. Each page has an endangered or threatened animal species and a little information about how they live. On page one is the lion and the charcoal drawing is so beautiful it is hard to tell if it is a drawing or a black and white photograph. This book can be enjoyed by the entire family and give children a gentle insight into animal conservation.
