Where Animals Hide
Sylvaine Peyrols
Spiral-bound (My First Discoveries, May 1, 2016)It is often difficult to see animals in the wild because they hide so well. The magic torch in this book helps you see them clearly in long grass, in thickets, through dense foliage, in holes underground and in well camouflaged dens and nests on the ground, in trees, on cliff tops and even in snow and ice.
