Honey, I Ate the Kids!

About this book

We might feel we know something about the different types of animals that exist in our world, but what about the types of families that animals belong to? Did you know, for instance, that some animals (giraffes, for instance) raise their young in a group setting, some (like penguins) share the parenting and some, like some lizards and snakes, leave their young to fend totally for themselves? 

In this fascinating and beautifully illustrated book, Mills and Hyndman take us through the continents of the world and highlight how different animal families have adjusted to their environments, from herds of elephants in Africa to the caring porbeagle mummy sharks of North America. 

Written in an accessible and friendly way with a few well-chosen facts in each section, this light-hearted yet informative guide to animal families explores a slightly more unusual facet of nature and biodiversity, highlighting also how each animal family fits into their particular environment.
