About this book
It’s all about the rule-breakers in this fact-packed nature book! Did you know that there’s a vegetarian shark? Ever heard of a snake that can fly? Or what about the penguin that prefers sun to snow?
This full colour, photographic book is split into themed chapters with titles such as ‘Strange Sounds’, ‘Shelling Out’ and ‘Taking the Plunge’ and introduces over 75 different creatures that like to do things a little differently from the other members of their animal families. Find out what makes them special and why they’ve evolved that way.
An excellent dip-in-and-out book for fact-lovers and nature-lovers. Small blocks of text help to make it nicely accessible, along with colourful illustrations and lots of real-life photos. We also love how it celebrates difference and highlights the amazing variety of the animal kingdom.
