LIGHTS! CAMERA! AYE-AYES? Riley goes loopy for lemurs when he's invited to explore the mysterious African isle of Madagascar with a documentary film crew.

What has happened to threaten the irreplaceable beauty of this vast island? And can Riley overcome his fears in order to spot the elusive Aye-Aye, a rare lemur known for its strange appearance? Check out the action in Mission to Madagascar!
Award-winning visuals, thrilling storylines, curriculum applications, kid-friendly fact boxes and cutting-edge science distinguish this landmark new series as a pioneer in Environmental Education for children.
