![]() Pinkie Mouse, Where Are You? by Alison Green and Deborah Allwright.What in the World is a Pangolin? by Edward R.I went looking in the library for books which would allow further exploration and managed to find: This book allows students to empathise with the tenrec as he tries to solve his dilemma. The pangolin on the cover caused quite a frenzied discussion as well, so this week we shared Tenrec's Twigsby Bert Kitchen, watched a short BBC Attenborough film clip on Madagascan animals and thus looked in more detail at pangolins. ![]() Most students thought it was an armadillo or an anteater so when we got the back of the book where it tells you what the animals are and how endangered they are we discovered that it was in fact an aardvark.
