Animal Worlds of Wonder

Animals are amazing... and here's a beautiful book that takes you on a trip around their world! From the deepest depths of the sea to the peaks of the highest mountains, Planet Earth has an amazing variety of places where animals and plants can live... bone-dry deserts, rolling grasslands, rushing rivers, icy poles and fabulous forests. Through the words of award-winning author Anita Ganeri and fantastic illustrations, Animal Worlds of Wonder transports us to every continent to visit some of the most remarkable and intriguing animals of the land, air and sea. Learn all about the ecosystems they live in and the other creatures that share them and meet creatures as diverse as the Galapagos Tortoise, the Japanese Macaque, the Giant Clam, the Eurasian Otter, the Hyacinth Macaw, the Gila Woodpecker and the Triplewart Seadevil. Lavishly illustrated by Maddy Vian and bursting with colour and rich detail, this book explores fascinating facts about the animals' diets, habitats, roosts and hierarchy in an easy-to-understand and entertaining format. Ideal for home study or schools, this is a beautifully produced and informative book will delight animal lovers of every generation. -- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Evening Post *
