| Publisher Description: Join Toronto author and illustrator Karen Patkau as she explores the world of insects, mammals, sea jellies, reptiles, amphibians, birds, crustaceans, arachnids, and mollusks. From extremely large creatures, such as the blue whale, Chinese giant salamander, and goliath tarantula, to extremely small ones, such as the bumblebee bat, dwarf gecko, and fairy shrimp, embark on this informative, beautifully illustrated voyage of discovery. Even the simple fact-filled text is enchantingly presented in the voices of the animals themselves. A glossary, map endpapers, and handy charts -- introducing the concepts of scale and proportion by comparing measurements of animals that are "Big" and "Really Big" to "Small" and "Really Small" -- make this book a must-have for parents, schools, and libraries alike. |
