The Zoobook series is published 10 times a year with different animal themes every time. The December 2011 issue is about endangered species, the causes of endangerment and extinction, and how humans can help. Lots of realistic illustrations of the animals will be the main attraction for kids, especially boys. The text is small and quite dense, but the magazine would make a good source for a school report or project. The captions of each animal picture includes the scientific names of each creature. There are pages about the history of some animals and there is a middle section with activities for kids. ( )
