This is one I recommend consuming in small bits. It's not especially dense or heavy with technical language. It's more that the nature of the subject is prone to making it a bit repetitive. We are introduced to an animal and how it was specially suited to a feature of the environment or without many natural predators. Typically it all goes wrong when humans are introduced. People hunt, farm, or introduce competition to the environment, ultimately leading to the extinction A few of these animals were done in by climate change or other natural disaster. There's certainly appeal here, especially for a kid with an interest in the sciences.
