( ) Kakapo Rescue explores the Rescue Team dedicated to protecting the endangered species of flightless birds. Facing the threat of extinction 14 researchers share a hut in order to research and protect the species. Filled to the brim with unique photos taken on sight this book offers valuable information on one of the worlds most unique animals. The Kakapo,a unique parrot originated in New Zealand, is a flightless and nocturnal bird. There are only 87 Kakapos on the planet; Kakapos are at the risk of being extinct because of human action, such as being introduced to other animals that are not native to New Zealand. Therefore, in an attempt to rescue the Kakapos, researchers brought the remaining Kakapo to an island free of predators. Unfortunately, the Kakapos were not breeding. After tracking the Kakapos' nesting, feeding, and mating habits, researchers were able to take care of a lone, baby Kakapo to ensure that it grows up to be healthy. I would connect this text to science instruction by focusing on endangered species and their effect on a food chain. Due to it's factual or informational structure, this book is likely intended for 5th to 7th graders. Personally, I found this book very engaging for an informational text, as well I appreciated that the text was formatted in relaxed version of a lab report. The Kakapo is one of the strangest parrots on the planet and resides in New Zealand. It is a flightless bird and is nocturnal. There are only 87 kakapo on the planet so researchers are doing everything they can to help prevent this strange bird from going extinct. Kakapos are at the risk of being extinct because of the acts of humans and humans introducing other animals that are not native to New Zealand. In an attempt to rescue the Kakapo, researchers brought them to an island free of predators, yet the kakapo still were not breeding so their risk of extinction was still high. Researchers outfitted each Kakapo with a backpack that allowed rangers to track them. Through tracking, the researchers learn about the Kakapos' nesting, feeding, and mating habits. Researchers take care of the lone Kakapo chick to ensure that it grows up to be healthy. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
