Gabby's Great Save - Hardcover

by Dorie Karl (Author), Solomiia At Getyourbookillustrations (Illustrator)

Gabby, a young gopher tortoise, overhears two humans talking about starting a big fire in her Florida pine forest. Fearing for the safety of her wildlife neighbors, she sets out to warn them. By instinct, she knows how they can save themselves, but will they listen to her? How will she get animals that are normally predator and prey to cooperate for the common good?

Gabby's plan sounds far-fetched, but she is determined to save her animal neighbors. Racing against the clock, will she be able to crawl fast enough to make it back to safety?

Readers ages 5 to 8 will learn about wildlife ecology in GABBY'S GREAT SAVE, and be introduced to forest management and prescribed burning.

The fire is set. What happens to Gabby and the other animals?
