Description
Ned sits in his tree house and surveys the world around him spotting all sorts of different local animals - from an agouti, a butterfly, a crocodile, to a zandoli. The rhyming text is full of fun and there's a little mouse in the tree building a little house of his own that small readers will delight in spotting. Illustrations are bold and realistic and there is information about each animal at the end.
Reviews / Votes
"Many of the creatures will be familiar to British readers (bumble bee, rabbit, spider); others are more exotic - kiskadee, quail and x-ray fish (the alpha-zoologist's xylophone). The informative accuracy of Baker's pictures is reinforced by a zoological appendix containing further information about the stars of the show - and show it is - very pleasing and ideal for sharing" Books for KeepsMore details
