Get up close with all kinds of animals - some you might already know, others you almost certainly won't. Discover how to identify a giraffe by its patterns, what makes a rattlesnake rattle, where a goldfish keeps its teeth and why slime oozes from a caecilian's skin. Diagrams unpick how a newt breathes underwater and what goes on inside eggs, while a quiz about beak shapes reveals which bird eats what. The details in the wildlife photos are so incredible, you'll feel as if you could stroke the feathers on an eagle owl and count the hairs on an orangutan's chin.
James Maclaine has written books about meerkats, general knowledge and manners, come up with countless drawing, doodling and colouring ideas, and devised puzzles and things to do for a range of activity books. His Junior Illustrated Thesaurus is the book that he wishes he'd had as a child.
