Review: Our wonderful public library recently had a local rescue society bring ... - Our wonderful public library recently had a local rescue society bring in a number of animals that have been saved from unfit homes or that where being house illegally. One of the animals shown was the adorable kinkajou, a furry mammal from Mexico and South America that I had no previous knowledge of. This non-fiction picture book about kinkajous is cute little read to share with early elementary age students. Rachel Lynette did a nice job describing the kinkajou’s habitat, diet, and a bit about their child rearing. The photographs were very good but still didn't compare to seeing this remarkable animal in real life. Review: Easy to read! - This was a great book for beginners that are researching the Kinkajou in Elementary school. My son learned information he didn't get from websites or other sources.
