by Anna Wright (Author)

"Children (and adults) who like unusual illustration styles will be entranced by these creatively depicted creatures."--Kirkus
STARRED Foreword Review

Anna Wright's stunning introduction to non-fiction and the natural world is enlivened by her gorgeously sophisticated and fun art style which mixes pen and ink, watercolor and fabric collage. Find out what "pronking" is and how one jellyfish can become two in the humorous descriptions. Both educational and beautiful Anna's unique picture book shows the character of these animals beyond their familiar forms.

Not your average animal book - this book depicts animals that don't feature in other children's books, including: sea turtle, springbok, jellyfish, crab, zebra, starling, monarch butterfly, bumblebee, snow goose, herring, Southern Carmine bee-eater, and firefly. The selection of magnificent creatures will delight adults and children alike.
