Plot summary[edit]

In rhyming text, various endangered animals are asked the question "What do you see?". The list of animals includes a panda bear, a bald eagle, a water buffalo, a spider monkey, a green sea turtle, a macaroni penguin, a sea lion, a red wolf, a whooping crane and a black panther. The last iteration is a dreaming child who sees all the animals "wild and free."

Reception[edit]

A Bella Online review says, "The book is a great tool to introduce conservation to youngsters. It is never too early, to introduce infants, toddlers and young children to the conservation of animals and natural resources.[1]" A Wonder Korner review says, "Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle have done it again! These popular collaborators have added a new book about animal conversations to their series of rhythmic animal books. The combined talent of Martin and Carle are bound to ensure this a spot on the shelves of children's classics.[2] It was reviewed by Publishers Weekly[3] and by Booklist.[4]
