The anomalous animals of the African continent get their moment in the
spotlight. From honey badgers to electric catfish, Animal Allstars
provides factual and fantastical fun. The powerful queen termite
receives chemical messages from members of her colony. The galago, also
known as a bush baby, has especially powerful night vision that can
pierce even the deepest dark. Without teeth and with a body covered in
protective scales, the pangolin is surprisingly a mammal and not a
reptile. The sweet-looking honey badger would come out top if you had to
choose between it and a lion. Every animal within the vivid pages of
Animal Allstars has a tantalizing tale to tell. Each creature presented
is illustrated next to a breakdown of both notable and curious traits
including class, weight, habitat, and social behaviors. To further
deepen each narrative, the animal's special skill is offered alongside
its corresponding African folk tale -interweaving method and myth.
Children (and adults) will find their new favorite animal and delight in
the super-powers that these striking species possess. Animal Allstars
delivers a comprehensive portrait of the lesser-known characters of the
animal kingdom.
