A breathtaking visual celebration of some of the incredible animals that are often overlooked and misunderstood. In his new book, award-winning illustrator Ben Rothery sets out to inform and inspire children to look after all the animals on this precious planet - not just the big, bold, beautiful ones, but the scary, ugly and utterly alien ones as well. From misunderstood animals like snakes and sharks, to detested creatures like maggots and hyenas, and from animals with unlucky associations like magpies, to those abandoned by us like orangutans, meet the animals that need and deserve our love. Packed with stunning illustrations and fascinating facts, this incredible book is the perfect gift for nature lovers.
