"The first information book to win a UKLA Book Award, this proved a magnet for young readers with its witty and characterful text and illustrations illuminating the more unusual animals that could suffer from our ignorance"
Winner of the UKLA 2018 Book Award 7-11
This is no ordinary animal book, you won’t find the usual suspects in its page, no tigers, pandas, bears here. Instead be prepared to be amazed by animals you’ve never heard of, from the Cuban solenodon (one of the few mammals with a poisonous bite) to the stinky but useful zorilla, aka Africa’s pongiest predator.
Martin ‘Horrible Histories illustrator’ Brown celebrates a host of animals that deserve to be better know, in a book that offers a refreshingly different approach to natural history. Each page is packed with fascinating information, cleverly laid out with frequent jokes and cartoon asides adding to the fun.
At the same time, there’s a serious message about the threat to these creatures from humans, and habitat loss.
