From graceful swans to towering giraffes, and from tree-climbing koalas to powerful tigers, the world of animals is wonderfully diverse. This series travels the planet to study 12 fascinating animals. Beautiful photos are paired with accessible text to examine the featured animal's appearance, behaviors, and life cycle. Each book also presents a folk story that people have used to help explain the animal's appearance or behavior.
