Books in Animals Are Amazing series

From winged bats to furry wolves, and from leaping dolphins to stalking lions, the world of animals is wonderfully diverse. This popular series travels the planet to study these and other fascinating mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates. Beautiful photos are paired with STEM-appropriate text to examine the featured creature's appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each reissued title also presents a folk story that people have used to help explain the animal's appearance or behavior. This revised edition surveys key aspects of giraffes, describing the towering mammals' appearance, behaviors, and habitats. A folk tale explains why these creatures have long necks.

Encourage children to appreciate and respect our amazing animals. This book is sure to delight children with its flowing rhyme, colourful illustrations and information on some of Africa's beautiful wild animals. One fun repetitive verse gets the kids 'hooked' onto the theme: Whose Big Butt is that I see? Whose Big Butt in front of me? Visual and written clues get the child thinking about the animal that they are about to see more clearly on the next page, where the animal replies about what it eats to get such a 'Big Butt'. To liven things up further, within each clue a different expression for an animal's 'butt' is also used; such as 'behind', 'bum', 'rear end'. The series of Our Amazing Animals is a great collection for children! See the other books in this series.
