A celebration of the
extraordinary diversity within the animal kingdom. This large format
book is bursting with fascinating facts about mammals; birds,
reptiles, fish and insects and will encourage children to treasure
our world's biodiversity. Exquisitely illustrated, it shines a
spotlight on how many different species exist in the world. Forty
