“Felina's New Home, A Florida Panther Story”
by Loran Wlodarski
reviewed by Patricia Huff
Since it is Spring Break for so many of our Florida students, a
children's book seemed appropriate to review this time of year.
Loran Wlodarski has published several award-winning
educational books for children and this one focuses on the loss
of habitat for the Florida Panther and other wildlife. Eventually,
Felina is relocated to a protected refuge area. The book also
features information about different Florida wildlife and gives
the young readers an opportunity to learn from answering
questions about the animals. Felina's New Home is beautifully
illustrated by Lew Clayton who has been a graphic designer for
20 years. This book can be purchased at WinCar, Ivey House, Smallwood Store,
Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center, and National Park Boat Tours gift shop. A nice
gift for your grandchildren and an interesting way to learn about our Everglades wildlife.
