New Florida Panther/Everglades children's book

Another fabulous book from Sylvan Dell Publishing - $8.95 for softcover;   $16.95 for hardcover.

Felina the Florida panther loved growing up in her forest home, until the forest starts to shrink! Trees begin to disappear, and Felina doesn’t understand the new busy highway in the neighborhood. Other animals are in danger, too. Will Felina find a way to survive as humans threaten to ruin her home? Environmental science writer Loran Wlodarski gives children a look into deforestation and endangered animals in Felina’s New Home: A Florida Panther Story. Learn what children can do to keep wild animals safe, happy, and healthy.
