Product Description

Animals smooth and spiky, fast and slow, hop and waddle through the two hundred pluspages of the Caldecott Honor artist Steve Jenkinss most impressive nonfiction offering yet. Sections such as Animal Senses, Animal Extremes, and The Story of Life burst with fascinating facts and infographics that will have trivia buffs breathlessly asking, Do you knowa termite queen can produce up to 30,000 eggs a day? Jenkinss color-rich cut- and torn-paper artwork is as strikingly vivid as ever. Rounding out this bountiful browsers almanac of more than three hundred animals is a discussion of the artists bookmaking process, an animal index, a glossary, and a bibliography. A bookshelf essential!
