Stunning illustrations encourage little readers to follow the migration patterns of animals from around the world through a series of beautiful mazes * Little London * Here's a really fabulous idea for an animal book, particularly if your kids also love devilishly fiendish puzzles too...!"Animazes" cleverly combines animal facts and figures for a huge range of species across many continents, with some beautifully designed and illustrated mazes to plot their migration journeys as they move with the seasons.
Each huge page spread in this wonderful book is full of exquisite detail and children will love tracing the routes through the maze for each species, over land and water, across the seas or even the frozen wastes of the North and South Poles.
Boxed-out animal facts are fantastic for helping children learn a little bit more about particular animals, it's a very attractive package indeed...
We really enjoyed this book, great for home or school.
The mazes aren't too taxing for little ones, but it's a great book to sprawl out on the floor with and share. * Read It Daddy * Did you know that humpback whales are some of the furthest travelling mammals in the world? Or that Arctic terns fly from the Arctic to Antarctica and back again?

Many animals - both great and small - make incredible journeys to migrate. Some travel by sea and some by air, some travel through ice and some across deserts. Some, like reindeer, migrate to find food. Others, like Christmas Island red crabs, travel to find the right environment to help the next generation survive.
Inquisitive youngsters can trace the incredible journeys of 14 very different animals by following the mazes with their finger and learning all sorts of fascinating facts along the way. Can you find a safe path for the wildebeest and trace a rockhopper penguin's trail up the slippery cliffs?
