Publisher's Synopsis
This beautifully illustrated book provides a wonderful panorama of the whole of animal life. It explains where animals live, gives examples of their family lives and how they give birth and grow, and describes how they move and feed, and use their senses. The final sections briefly describe how scientists have grouped animals into different types and show how they have evolved from the earliest forms of life to the countless animals that make up our world today. Cathy Jarman's text is clearly written and hugely informative, and is complemented with the magnificent illustrations and diagrams by Pat Oxenham. This book is a treasury of animal life and, as a superb source of reference, will be used and enjoyed by the whole family.
