The Usborne Big book of animals by Hazel Maskell
Ill. by Fabiano Fiorin. Usborne, 2017. ISBN 9781474928953
From the icy polar regions, the steaming tropics to the depths of
the oceans, our planet is inhabited by some amazing creatures and
many of them are gathered here to tempt the budding David
Attenborough as they investigate the tallest, longest, fastest,
heaviest and most dangerous animals in the world, complete with
facts and measurements.
With easily accessible text, bite-sized facts, and fold-out pages
which introduce a myriad of creatures, little ones cannot only learn
about the creatures that share their environment but also that books
can educate as well as entertain. They are for information as well
as the imagination. And for those who want to know more, Usborne has
a page of Quicklinks that offers safe, vetted links to information
and activities.
The Usborne Big Book of Animals is just one in this series of
early non fiction for young readers that help them find more about
the world they live in and which would be quality additions to any
school or home library.
