If you've ever wondered what our animal friends might say to us about how we treat the planet, take a peek inside Pogo the Porpoise's world as he puts it all on the line and makes an appeal to kids for help. He's thoughtful and sincere but makes it abundantly clear that, in order for ocean life to continue and endangered species such as his own to survive, humans have to change. This book is a must-read for kids and a teaching tool that raises awareness about the world around us while inspiring change to the one within us.

"Pogo the Porpoise with a Purpose" is filled with high-resolution underwater photos, many of which were taken by scientists and photographers who have devoted their lives and professions to rescuing and advocating for marine life. One of these scientists is Dr. Anna Hall of Sea View Marine Sciences in British Columbia who wrote the book's foreword.

"Pogo the Porpoise with a Purpose" speaks directly to kids with engaging poetry and includes lots of thought-provoking discussions, resources for increased learning about the environment, suggestions for how kids can make a difference, an invitation to adopt-a-porpoise, as well as a fun puzzle to solve at the end of the book. It also carefully highlights endangerment statuses and includes a handy conservation status guide to help kids better understand what endangerment means.

This book has been officially leveled by the educational leveling company, Fountas and Pinnell, and suitable for kids of all ages but specifically leveled for independent readers at 4th grade and higher. It's the perfect addition to any elementary or middle school classroom focused on nature, conservation, or the environment. It's also a wonderful book for grown-ups and kids to read together.

"Pogo the Porpoise with a Purpose" has been lovingly dedicated to the estimated twenty or fewer remaining Vaquita porpoises whose populations are declining through no fault of their own. Yes, you read that correctly - twenty or fewer. Please join Pogo on this awesome journey by sharing his inspiring message and compassionate appeal with your family and friends. Your kids will love it, and so will you.
