"Weird and Wonderful" is a series of four books on the most amazing
creatures and features of the natural world. The books are produced
in collaboration with The Natural History Museum in London. Unlike
many natural history books, these combine both living creatures and
the Earth itself, in an original and dynamic approach that focuses
on their amazing characteristics. On every spread, photographs
taken especially for these books display the wonders of the natural
world. Woven around them is an expert, lively text. "Zooming and
Creeping" looks at the fastest - and the slowest - on land, sea and
in the air, and asks why speed or sloth can be an advantage in the
natural world.
Discover the amazing animals and plants that live in gardens,
forests, jungles, oceans and wild places in this colourful sticker
book. There are over 180 stickers of animals, plants and bugs to
add to the scenes, from caribou in the Arctic to clownfish in a
coral reef. Ideal for learning about the natural world and for
developing manual dexterity.
