Dodos Are Forever by Dick King-Smith

Dodos Bertie and Beatrice are happily planning their marriage on an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.  Theirs is an idyllic life on an island paradise with no predators.  Then the ship comes with sea monkeys and rats.  Both the sea monkeys and the rats develop a taste for dodos.  Now Bertie and Beatrice must find a way to escape extinction so that dodos can truly be forever.

This was a great audiobook by children's author Dick King-Smith. King-Smith is known for his gentle animal stories for children.  They contain just enough action and adventure to keep kids enthralled without being too scary.  His books are perfect as read-alouds for the whole family.
