It might be alarming to come across a live, wild animal at close
range, but in the fascinating environment of a poster book they are
a thrilling sight for curious children. Caught in photographs that
emphasize their wild natures, there is no mistaking these glorious
animals for family pets Many of this collection's 30 animals will
be instantly recognizable from family trips to national parks and
zoos, classroom lessons, and television nature shows, but their
wild habits are what make them truly appealing to young
imaginations. These are animals that live and die by instinct and
cunning--finding food, raising their young, and evading predators.
On the back of each poster, children will find a map indicating
where the animal lives, along with information on how it relates to
its habitat, interesting historical facts and lore, and a
description of what the animal is doing in the photograph. Grey
wolves and grizzlies enjoy freshly killed meals; bald eagles and
polar bears spar for supremacy; a caribou sheds the velvet on his
antlers. These and 25 other breathtaking images bring wild animals
right into a child's life.
The eyes have it Animal eyes capture children's imaginations and
provide an educational introduction to the animal's daily
activities and standing in the wild kingdom. The large
black-and-white smiling eyes of the Giant Panda -- the ones humans
think are so cute -- actually look fierce to predators; and one
look at the bright, focused eyes of a panther conveys the
superiority of its predatory skills.
For every child who loves the compelling immediacy of eye-to-eye
animal photos, here are 30 full-color, pull-out portraits of
mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and invertebrates -- all with
arresting gazes that tell fascinating stories. On the back of each
poster, children will find general facts about the animal, followed
by specific information about those amazing eyes, and an exciting
descriptive scene from the animal's life, giving the child a
thrilling you-are-there experience.
From the extremely sharp "eagle eyes" of a White-Tailed Eagle to
the color-blind eyes of the majestic Grey Wolf and the enormous
round eyes of the Tarsier, every pair of animal eyes will have kids
staring back in wonder.

There was once a little raccoon who wanted to go out in the night -- to know an owl, to see if the moon is a rabbit, and to find out how dark is the dark. But his mother said, "Wait.
