Among the most unusual and interesting animals in the world are the marsupials. These are the animals who carry their babies in pockets or pouches -- even after they are grown. Marsupials include the kangaroo, the koala, the Tasmanian Devil, wallabies, bilbies, quolls, and the opossum. While Australia is home to the most marsupials, they are mammals that can be found in many other places around the world. As their environments are disturbed and non-native animals introduced to their ecosystems, marsupials are often endangered and require help to survive and thrive in their native habitats. Enhanced with truly impressive photography, and an excellent edition to school and community library Pets & Wildlife collections, "Pocket Babies And Other Amazing Marsupials" by award-winning children's author Sneed B. Collard III is an excellent and highly recommended introduction to these fascinating animals for children ages 11 and older.
