Meet the National Animals cover

Meet the National Animals is a playful and humorous look at the animals all around the world who represent their country.
 
Why do they represent the particular country and what is so special or symbolic about them? Featuring over 35 amazing animals, from the mystical Scottish Unicorn to China's much-loved Giant Panda and the wonderful, but extinct, Dodo from Mauritius.
 
The witty text brings each animal to life and celebrates their quirks and characteristics. Includes a playful, charming narrative along the bottom of each spread, which sees Brown Bear gradually bringing all the animals together as they travel the world, celebrating each country as they go.
 
Filled with fascinating facts about each animal and country, the text also touches gently on conservation issues related to each animal and their habitat. The illustrations inject warmth and humour into the narrative, making the animals the stars of their respective countries!
 

“A playful look at 35 animals who represent their country, from China’s Great Panda to the mystical Scottish unicorn. Full of quirky facts about each creature and country, gently touching on environmental themes.” * The Bookseller *
