The
latest offering from Lonely Planet Kids is the fun and vibrant World’s Wackiest Animals which will
appeal to children of all ages.
Glossy
photographs provide readers with an up close view of these unique and often unheard
of animals. The nature of the book allows readers to dip in and out of the
book.
While it will also encourage children, who are reluctant readers or who are
not lovers of non fiction books.
Segmented
into the different continents and oceans they inhabit, the animals featured are
then listed alphabetically. Each animal then displays a symbol to indicate whether they are endangered or critically endangered.
Children
can learn about animals such as the Indian Purple Frog who was only discovered
in 2003 simply because the frog spends most of his time underground.
Then there
is the Narwhal which is local to the Arctic and is known as the Unicorn of the
Seas. Or there is the Matamata Turtle who calls South America home and whose
head resembles a giant leaf. Australian animals are also featured in this book.
Each
page contains snippets of information and detailed photographs that children will
love. With 100 fascinating and bizarre creatures to discover, this book will
entice any children who have an affinity for animals and make learning about
them fun.
