Meet the loris in this clever, funny, and informative nonfiction picture book, part of a series that focuses on endangered species.

Hello, I'm a Loris introduces us to the fascinating world of the loris, an endangered species, in a way that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.

"Wild, fun, and truly eye-opening, Meet the Wild Things gets us up close and personal with some of the world's most amazing creatures. With this series, Hayley and John Rocco are doing more than entertaining our kidsβ€”they're inspiring them to care about the future of our planet." - Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of the Ordinary People Change the World series

Did you know lorises have night vision? That's why they have such big eyes. In fact, their eyes are so sensitive, bright light can be almost blinding to them.

And did you know that lorises are primates, just like monkeys, apes, and humans? They are the only primates in the whole world that are venomous. If they feel scared or threatened, they can deliver a nasty, painful, and sometimes even deadly bite.

But did you also know lorises are endangered and need our help? With humans chopping down rainforests and taking lorises from their homes to make them pets, these unique primates need our protection more than ever.

Chock-full of amazing, kid-friendly facts and inviting artwork from the #1 New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honoree illustrator of Blackout, the Meet the Wild Things series introduces young readers to endangered animals from around the globe, told from the points of view of the animals themselves.
