Animals on Parade

From the days of the dinosaurs on through the present, animals have "come swimming, rolling, walking, stalking, running, gliding, sliding" through our world. Some stayed for only a short time, while others have endured for millennia; many have felt the effects of human influence (or outright interference). In this intricately illustrated accordion-fold book, diverse groupings of creatures parade forward as the text describes the threats to their existence--until they encounter the embrace of adoring children, the conservators of all our futures.
