The information is sure to appeal to primary school aged children who have an enquiring mind and like nature.

The three-toed sloths take life at a leisurely place yet their speedy swimmers and they're part of the slow food movement. Then there's interesting facts about snakes, for example the Gabon viper with its head that looks like a leaf, but hinged fangs it uses for storage.

Does your young one know that the ornate wobbegong, has a shaggy beard and can walk on water and likes to ambush it's prey and it can hold onto its pretty for days if it's large.

Each species is covered over a double page spread and the skilful, yet fun illustrations show them in their natural state in bush, trees or water.
