Description: A wonderful introduction to the world of animals -- an eternally popular subject with young children -- this book takes a thematic approach by exploring different aspects of animal life, including feeding, movement, animal senses, and hunting. Barbara Taylor looks at animal classes -- mammals, fishes, amphibians, molluscs, birds, and reptiles -- and covers a variety of habitats: grasslands, forests, oceans, deserts. A chapter is dedicated exclusively to endangered species. Another, charmingly titled "Eggs, Babies, and Growing Up", explains birth. Stunning wildlife photography combines with dozens of lifelike drawings of animals to illustrate the captivating narrative. Hands-on craft projects show children who to build a bug catcher and a bird feeding bell. A two-page index makes finding the information you want quick and easy. An interactive animal detective quiz concludes this informative, accessible introduction to the animal world.
