What on Earth is That? by Sarah Savory
What On Earth is That? is a story in rhyming text about a pangolin – the world’s least-known yet most-trafficked mammal. The author’s son Luke invites young readers or listeners on a journey asking various animals what they think the odd-looking creature is that he and a friend have unearthed. In the process, it’s revealed just what extraordinary and endearing animals pangolins are and how deserving they are of our protection as an endangered species. A section at the end of the book provides some interesting facts on pangolins and shows the work being done to fight for their survival.
Sarah Savory's inherited and enduring love of animals and of story-telling go back a long way. Her father, Allan Savory, is a world-renowned ecologist who developed the concept of Holistic Management, and her grandmother Margaret Barnes was the first Rhodesian woman to attend Oxford University where she was tutored by the famous author CS Lewis. As a young Zimbabwean Sarah is passionate about all wildlife, with a special interest in, and love for, pangolins. It is her mission to highlight the plight of these creatures, four species of which are indigenous to Africa. Sarah has two young children of her own.
