Explore the animal kingdom like never before with the Animal Atlas
from Lonely Planet Kids. Unfold maps to reveal animals from every
continent and lift the flaps to see their unique environments and
habitats. Discover a world of animal facts, life-size photos and
creature features - from a bear's paw and a baby turtle to an

spider. EEK! All drawn to scale so you can measure yourself against
them. You'll find animals living on freezing ice caps, high on
snowy mountain peaks, in parched deserts and down in the dark
depths of the ocean. They fly through the air, crawl among trees,
burrow into the earth, plunge through the seas, and prowl the
forests - and range from the tiniest of insects too small to see
without a magnifying glass to the blue whale, which is longer than
three buses! The book is divided into seven sections: North
America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, Oceania
& Antarctica - each with a map of the major environments as
well as illustrated and photographic depictions of some of the
animals living there. Are you ready for this round-the-world animal

The brand-new HEARTWARMINGLY HILARIOUS children's picture book from
NUMBER ONE bestselling David Walliams. Illustrated by artistic
genius Tony Ross. Meet Geronimo - the baby penguin who has one
dream and one dream only - and that is to fly! But everyone knows
penguins can't fly... or can they? With a little help from his dad
and friends, baby Geronimo discovers that even the wildest of
dreams can come true. A delightfully topsy-turvy book with an
uplifting message about following your dreams - another
blockbusting classic from David Walliams and Tony Ross! There are
lots of funny pictures of penguins in this book, but please note
any mention of 'free' penguins on the back cover is a joke and as
such should be taken lightly.

guide for kids. You might know that baby koalas spend time in their

Australian marsupials! Turn the pages to discover why they spend 15
hours a day asleep, and how scientists use drones to monitor koala
populations. Filled with simple science, this book also explains
why koalas love to munch eucalyptus leaves, and why they are most
certainly not bears! It also looks at the conservation challenges
these iconic animals face due to climate change and forest fires.
