Reviews / Votes
From mammals to bugs, this colourful book answers so many of those burning questions about where animals go and why. It is packed with facts and figures about a wide variety of animals and their migratory habits. Fact hunters will love the slow migration of the sloth down a tree in order to go to the toilet!! The book covers record breaking flights, plants on the move, hitchhikers and so much more. Perfect for the animal obsessed child and the curious child (or adult). This is a beautiful, engaging book to share. There are some incredible photographs accompanied by maps and illustrations to give a sense of how far these journeys are. Plus there is also a glossary to help the reader understand some of the tricky words. * Read for Good *More details
