Dive into our planet's largest and least explored world in this
stunning encyclopedia of whales, waves, wrecks, wind farms, and
everything oceanic! Using 3D illustrations and a level of detail
you can't find in other books, this children's ocean encyclopedia
is perfect for home learning and study support. It takes you on a
world tour of the waters that cover 70 percent of our planet,
taking in marine biology, geography, geology, and ecology. See the
sharks, jellyfish, turtles, dolphins, octopuses, penguins,
seahorses, and other animals that call the ocean home and learn how
their anatomy and behaviour is adapted to deal with a watery
habitat. Discover what lies beneath the waves - from the dramatic
landscapes of the deepest trench and the longest mountain range on
Earth, to coral reefs and kelp forests teeming with life. Find out,
too, about the science behind the seas. How do islands form? What
are tsunamis? How can you help with marine conservation?
Beautifully illustrated and packed full of facts, Knowledge
Encyclopedia: Ocean! is the ultimate reference book for children
curious about our planet's watery world.
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+.
This truly beautiful and wonderfully illustrated book introduces
