Beware the Burmese pythons and other invasive animal species / written by Etta Kaner ; illustrated by Phil Nicholls.

Kaner, Etta, (author.). Nicholls, Phil (Phil D.), (illustrator.).

Summary:

"What do cane toads, cats and Burmese pythons have in common? They're invading our ecosystems! Learn about 10 common invasive species from around the world, exploring how they got into new ecosystems and the damage they've caused. With text organized in all kinds of fun ways, from posters to newspaper articles to comic strips, this funny, highly visual book will keep young readers engaged. Each section provides basic information about one invasive animal, including their most distinctive features and where they came from, before telling the story of how they arrived in a new place. Humans, of course, are actually the ones responsible for moving invasive species around the world--but luckily, we're also trying to solve the problem. Readers will learn about how scientists are working to contain each invasive species and that it is possible to solve environmental issues. Back matter includes sources, a glossary and an index." -- Provided by publisher.
