More than 500 stunning photographs are included, with many annotated to highlight interesting features and traits.

My Little World: Animals is a fantastic new non-fiction title from
Priddy Books! Aimed at children aged two and over, this novelty
board book focuses on the amazing animal kingdom including subjects
such as animal patterns and habitats. The simple text and bright
friendly illustrations are perfect for toddlers and each spread
features an interactive element to bring the facts to life.
Did you know that the world's biggest tongue belongs to the blue
whale? Or that the snub-nosed monkey's nostrils point upwards, and
when it rains it makes them sneeze? From paws to claws, tongues,
teeth, tails and more, compare the biggest and the smallest animals
(and all the others in between) in this illustrated exploration of
creatures and their features. Includes stunning 'UP CLOSE' pages,
which take a life-size look at a particular feature of two very
different animals. See the mighty elephant's trunk (it can grow as
long as a bathtub!) and compare it to the sensitive snout of an
elephant shrew. Study the bristly tongue of a penguin and see how
different it is to the stretchy, long tongue of a salamander.
Written by science writer and children's book author Isabel Thomas,
with beautiful illustrations by Dawn Cooper, this absorbing book
will delight and educate young animal lovers aged 6+.
