Building Background for Threatened by Eliot Schrefer

Meet our January read, Threatened by Eliot Schrefer. I loved this book just as much as I did Endangered and I'm excited for our book talks!  Eliot Schrefer really does a fabulous job taking us into the settings of these two books.  We've learned a bit about the Congo and bonobos, now dig in and enjoy the trip he takes us on next!



The story takes place in Gabon. Click on the link under the map to explore Gabon in Google Maps.

If you zoom out on the map, you'll discover the continent that Gabon is on.  What is it?
What other questions do you have about Gabon?


The story is about a boy, Luc, who discovers what life is like living among a family of "mock men." Below is a picture of a "mock man".   What do you know about these creatures?
What other questions do you have about them?

                         

Let's Research!
