Hello, I'm an Axolotl (Meet the Wild Things, Book 4)

Meet the axolotl in this clever, funny, and informative nonfiction picture book, part of a series that focuses on endangered species.

“Wild, fun, and truly eye-opening, Meet the Wild Things gets us up close and personal with some of the world's most amazing creatures. With this series, Hayley and John Rocco are doing more than entertaining our kids—they’re inspiring them to care about the future of our planet.” —Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of the Ordinary People Change the World series

Did you know that axolotls have a superpower? They can regrow lost limbs, tails, and even parts of their hearts and brains!

And they sparkle! That's because they have special cells in their bodies that reflect light like glitter. Pretty neat, huh?

But did you also know the axolotl is endangered and needs our help? While there are about a million axolotls in tanks and aquariums around the world, there are fewer than 500 left in the wild.

Chock-full of amazing, kid-friendly facts and inviting artwork from the #1 New York Times bestselling, Caldecott Honoree illustrator of Blackout, the Meet the Wild Things series introduces young readers to endangered animals from around the globe, told from the points of view of the animals themselves.
