This vividly illustrated book shines a light on the animal kingdom
like never before. Perfect for young animal lovers, The Surprising
Lives of Animals is a captivating reading experience that will amaze
children and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Did you know that some animals giggle and play just like us? Or that
certain animals build their homes, stockpile their food, and use tools?
In this fascinating book you'll learn about the things that humans and
animals have in common. From team work, exercise, and self-care to
dancing and getting into trouble, you'll discover that, actually,
animals are a lot like you!
Visiting underground burrows and grassy savannahs, watery realms, and
towering tree tops, this book will take you around the world on a
journey of discovery. Meet the monkeys who love to take baths, or the
penguins who toboggan for fun. Hear the stories of escaping honey
badgers, sneaky spiders, and clever crows. Or find out if animals can
really talk.
You'll see plenty of Earth's creatures, from creepy crawlies to mega
mammals, and you'll learn about their lives, habitats,
characteristics, and behaviors-and uncover what makes each of
them so surprisingly similar to us humans. Look out for 'Scientist
Spotlight' boxes too, to learn about some important scientists and
conservationists, such as Sir David Attenborough and Dame Jane
Goodall.
