Detailed double page spreads and introductory text about each creature make this perfect for browsing, while a section of fieldnotes at the back of the volume is ideal for those wishing to discover more. * The Bookseller * "well-known and unusual animals illustrated with Peter Scott's stunning artwork" * Bookseller *
