Anita Ganeri is an award-winning author of information books for children. Educated at Cambridge University, she has written more than 300 books, including the best-selling 'Horrible Geography' series (Scholastic Children's Books) which won a 2009 Blue Peter Book Award. She writes widely on animals and the natural world. A recent title for Raintree, A Day in the Life of Rainforest Animals: Capybara, has been shortlisted for a Maryland Blue Crab Award 2012. Anita lives in the north of England with her husband, children and assorted pets.
This large, handsome volume in the Inside & Outside Guide series introduces 12 creatures--from zebra and dolphin to kangaroo and lobster--one on each double-page spread, with color photos and clever cutaway (X ray-like) illustrations showing each animal in a variety of settings. Ganeri focuses on the body parts that individualize each animal and allow it to find food, escape from enemies, and attract a mate. She also includes a note on how each animal connects with other creatures in its zoological group. Whether it is the shark's fearsome teeth, the grasshopper's salivary gland, the octopus' sophisticated nervous system, or the crocodile's extra eyelid, the facts are dramatic and well presented in the labeled pictures.
