A family for Zoya : the true story of an endangered cub / by Wolf, Debra Kim,author.; Durante, Annalisa,illustrator.(CARDINAL)882541; Durante, Marina,illustrator.(CARDINAL)882542;
Zoya is the lone surviving Amur cub from her litter at the Philadelphia Zoo. When her mother refuses to care for her, the zookeepers urgently attempt something that has never worked before. They relocate the fragile cub to the Oklahoma Zoo, where Lola, a Sumatran tiger with three newborns, might raise Zoya as one of her own. Could this tiger of a different subspecies accept and be a mother to her, too? Follow this tiny cub as she attempts to bond with Lola and adjust to her three foster brothers in this new environment. But Oklahoma is just a stop along the way for Zoya as she learns what it means to be a tiger. This inspiring true tale of love, acceptance, and survival is perfect for young readers and animal enthusiasts alike.Ages 6-9.

An ocean of orange [large print] / by Sparrow, Emma Rose.;
An Ocean of Orange: Picture Book for Dementia Patients, Seniors & Others (Level 2 Book). This is one of a series of picture books for dementia patients (or those with Alzheimer's), adults and seniors that have trouble reading. If your loved one is overwhelmed by 'normal' books but spry enough to feel offended with books labeled as dementia books or by being given a children's book, this is your answer. This book helps those who have a hard time reading in several ways: Each book in this series is themed around one color. An Ocean of Orange has photos featuring beautiful orange elements from around the globe. The reader will find many delights: From a bright orange sunset behind a pyramid in Mexico to the soft orange fur of a Sumatran tiger; from the delicate orange petals of the Marigold flower to an orange sailed wooden boat making for port in Hong Kong. Those with dementia, Alzheimer's or senior reading struggles can find joy in 'reading' a book that does not need for them to follow a story. *The book is formatted to look like a 'real' book. It is designed for adults, without any child-like wording or features. This allows your loved one to feel proud to own it as part of their book collection. * Neither the title nor any text on or in the book states that the book is for dementia or any type of memory/cognitive problems. It is truly concealed so that the reader is not insulted. * This is a nice, good-sized 8.5 x 8.5 square book with 102 pages that is large enough a person to really be able to take in the photos, without it feeling 'huge'. The soft cover makes it easy to hold. This is not a heavy hard-cover, nor it is a 'board book' that seniors can find condescending. * Each photo (and short text) is only located on the right-side pages of this book. The reader can focus on one image at a time without distraction. *The short picture descriptions are in large 16 px text. There are 1 to 3 short sentences per picture. Within each photo description, the word 'orange' appears 1 time, to keep the reader on track. Please note: This is a Level 2 book, which primarily focuses on being a book of photos, along with short accompanying text. If you are looking for purely a picture book without any text at all, please look to the Level 1 books; for 'easy-read' short stories, please look to Level 3 books.Dementia and Alzheimer's patients

The photo ark vanishing : the world's most vulnerable animals / by Sartore, Joel,photographer,author.(CARDINAL)330095; Kolbert, Elizabeth,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)324071;
Celebrated National Geographic photojournalist Joel Sartore continues his Photo Ark quest, photographing species around the world that are escaping extinction thanks to human efforts. Joel Sartore's quest to photograph all the animal species under human care celebrates its 15th year with this glorious and heartwrenching collection of photographs. The animals featured in these pages are either destined for extinction or already extinct in the wild but still alive today, thanks to dedication of a heroic group committed to their continued survival. From the majestic Sumatran rhinoceros to the tiny Salt Creek tiger beetle, Sartore's photographs bring us eye to eye with the kaleidoscopic diversity of shapes, colors, personalities, and attitudes of the animal world. In these vivid pages, Sartore singles out the species most likely to disappear in the next decades, as well as some that have already been lost. Alongside these indelible images are the words of scientists and conservationists who are working to protect and restore populations of endangered species. With Sartore's distinctive portrait photography, he invites us to look closer--and to care more.
