A picture safari around the world which shows a giant polar bear hunting seals on a frosty iceberg, cheeky monkeys swinging through the trees of the steamy rainforest, huge, hairy yaks trudging through the Himalayas and shoals of brilliantly coloured fish darting through a coral reef. The earth is teeming with extraordinary, strange or beautiful creatures. This work allows children to discover nearly 400 different species and find out information about each one. The book combines photographs of individual specimens with the late Ken Lilley's detailed animal paintings.
