Description
If you lived in a tree, would you swing from a branch and hang upside down or crouch behind leaves on a twig near the ground?
Depending on how you moved, when you were most active, and which part of the tree you used, you'd set your sights on a wide range of woodland wonders. From a mantis who hunts in the light of the day to a tarsier who searches at night for its prey, this rhythmic romp through forests and jungles compares and contrasts animals with opposite and shared characteristics, inspiring readers to imagine what it would be like to be them. Detailed back matter encourages further exploration.
