Hello, I’m a Pangolin (Meet the Wild Things, Book 2)

Description

Say hello to a pangolin, and learn all about this incredible endangered species—and why they need protecting—in this clever, funny, and informative nonfiction picture book, illustrated by a Caldecott Honoree.

Did you know pangolins are the only mammals with scales? Not even the teeth of a lion can break through their tough armor.

And did you know pangolins have a super-sticky tongue as long as their entire body? (The better to eat 20,000 bugs a day with!)
