Terri Tatchell

Adventures of a Pangopup - Endangered & Misunderstood Terri Tatchell

Who needs rules? Not this adventurous pangolin. He's tired of staying safe inside!

Pangopup is convinced he is old enough to leave his burrow and see the world. When his mother disagrees, the naughty pup waits for her to fall asleep and sneaks away. Outside, he meets a mischievous DIK DIK who is eager to show him some fun. However, DIK DIK's idea of fun isn't necessarily PANGOLIN proof and Pangopup finds himself in more and more danger as their explorations of the African landscape take them further from his burrow.

On the surface "Adventures of a Pangolin" is about a naughty pangolin who thinks he knows better than his mom. But look deeper, and it's a story about kindness, navigating peer pressure, learning from our mistakes, and above all the power of unconditional love.

Kids love the fact-filled spread at the end of the story where they can learn about the pangolin and dik dik, ways to help endangered animals, and even how to draw them!

Endangered & Misunderstood is an ongoing series of children's picture books that takes a different approach to the serious subject of lesser-known endangered animals, with an emphasis on laughter, adventure, and themes everyone can relate to.
