"Through the Animal Kingdom" by Derek Harvey and Charlotte Pepper (Dorling Kindersley)
"Through the Animal Kingdom" by Derek Harvey and Charlotte Pepper cleverly combines paintings and photographs in an absorbing and involving way, showing us the habitats of different animals, some living in the most harsh environments imaginable.
Join in on a journey that spans every corner of our planet.
What do freezing mountain peaks, vast deserts, lush forests, and the deepest, darkest oceans have in common?
They're all places that incredible animals call home.
Discover the secret lives of the animals that live there.
Track a bald eagle as it soars majestically over the Rocky Mountains.
Follow migrating wildebeests across the Serengeti as they attempt a dangerous river crossing under the watchful eyes of hungry predators, or trace the tracks of the solitary amur leopard - the rarest cat on Earth - as it silently stalks its prey through the icy forests of the Siberian wilderness.
The book is packed with fascinating information, from maps of the world where each habitat can be found, to those aforementioned brilliant montages helping kids learn what each animal looks like, following their lives in detail.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A gorgeously presented natural history book filled with amazing facts and information about the places animals call home.
"Through the Animal Kingdom" by Derek Harvey and Charlotte Pepper is out now, published by Dorling Kindersley (kindly supplied for review).
