Inhaltsangabe

Pandas' Earthquake Escape is a fictional story based on a real-life event. In real life, XiXi, a giant panda did escape from the destroyed Wolong Panda Reserve when the 7.9 earthquake rocked Northern China on May 12, 2008. Author Phyllis Perry uses the adventures of a mother panda, LiLing, and her one-year old cub, Tengfei, to teach children about earthquakes, animal survival, and to reinforce a mother’s instinct to protect her child. After the quake, mother and cub run from the wreckage. Confused and afraid, they get lost! How will they survive outside their reserve? Will they find food? Will they find shelter? And will they safely endure the earthquake after-shocks? The For Creative Minds education section includes: Endangered Giant Pandas, Life Cycle Sequencing Activity, Giant Panda Fun Facts, Shake, Rattle & Roll—Earthquakes, The Richter Scale and Magnitude Ranges, and Where in the World? Earthquake Chart & Map. Additional free teaching activities and interactive quizzes are available at the Sylvan Dell Publishing website. Ready, Set, Wait!
