world begins to change ... A clever picture book text about the
extraordinary way in which animals have evolved, intertwined with
the complication of human intervention. This remarkable paperback

with soot. In a beautiful landscape changed by humans how will one
little moth survive? Powerful and visually spectacular, Moth is the

survival against the background of an evolving human world in a

Selection.

parts required to equip the most amazing animals for the safari
survival. By pushing in place the snap-on tails, scales, claws and
jaws stored in the pull-out tray, children complete each scene and
discover what makes each animal unique.

Steve Backshall embarks on his most daring adventure yet. He has
just six months to travel to six continents and find 60 of the
deadliest creatures on the planet for the 26-part Children's BBC
series of the same name. From lethal beauties to killer beasts,
from the unseen to the unexpected, the one thing these creatures
have in common is that they are all deadly to other animals.
Steve's encounters range from famous killers such as the Black
Mamba and the North American Grizzly Bear to less well known but no
less deadly animals. He introduces the surreal Pink River Dolphin
of Amazonia and captures Australia's elusive Ghost Bat for a closer
look. Learn about the ingenious techniques and extraordinary
weapons that some of our most dangerous animals are armed with.
Including the renowned, the unexpected and the downright bizarre,
this companion book to Steve Backshall's high adrenaline tour of
the world's most deadly is not to be missed.
