This creative and beautifully illustrated interactive guide makes learning about animals fun for children ages 6 and up. Fifteen animals explain their amazing feats and invite kids to enter their world by mimicking their behaviour – an imaginative approach to learning that fosters curiosity, empathy, and dramatic play.
