About this title

Synopsis

This collection captures the six flavors of the regions of the world in imaginative cutaway fold-over illustrations. Young readers will find themselves transported to the lush vegetation of the rain forest, the icy, snow-covered poles and the mysterious ocean depths. Each book is a gallery of wildlife, skillfully drawn with unsparing detail. Read and learn amazing facts about the indigenous life in each part of the earth:

- The rain forest leaf-cutter ant that makes its own food, and the chameleon that changes color to match the environment;

- The woodland skunk whose spray stops its predator from breathing, and the white-tailed deer whose erect tail signals danger;

- The mountain's amazing Pacific salmon that grow up to five feet long, and the hibernating grizzly bears;

- The polar bears that thrive in the coldest place on earth, and the loud honking snow geese that fly 20,000 feet high;

- The grassland warthogs with unsightly faces, and the world's tallest animal-the giraffe;

- The ocean viper that lights up to lure its prey; and the world's biggest animal that grows more than 100 feet long-the blue whale.

These six stunning books offer fascinating facts, breath-taking illustrations, and a charming introduction to the wildlife of the world.
