Small World cover

Who can resist teeny tiny animals? From a tortoise that could fit in your palm, to a crab no bigger than your fingernail  this big and beautiful book is dedicated to tiny animals from around the world.

Turn the pages and set off on your adventure, meeting nature’s smallest creatures and taking a peek into their little – but very lovable – lives. These animals may be mini, but their stories are mighty!
 
The book is divided into six chapters, one for each animal type:

  1. Birds
  2. Fish
  3. Amphibians
  4. Invertebrates
  5. Mammals
  6. Reptiles

Within each chapter, you meet five teeny animals from around the world. Each animal is introduced over a fully illustrated spread. Prepare to be welcomed to the little animal’s life, introduced to its habitat, and walked through the creature’s habits and how it navigates its world – with special emphasis on its size, and the benefits and challenges that come with it. 

Animals include:

  • An adorable finger monkey (pygmy marmoset)
  • A flying lizard 
  • A Bee hummingbird - the smallest of all birds
  • A little penguin 
  • A tiny Fennec fox from Morocco
  • A fiesty pom-pom crab 

Each chapter ends with an amazing life-size spread, which shows the animals from that chapter at their true size! 

Featuring 30 teeny creatures from around the world, this book is the perfect gift for animal lovers ages 7+.
