From Woodslane Press: “Myke Mollard uses his signature illustrations and engaging text to bring kids up close and personal with dozens of Australian creatures, great and small. He focuses on the comparisons of size and scale, showing us how life thrives from the microscopic to the truly colossal. The creatures and plants are not only beautifully drafted, but the accompanying text also vividly describes their lifestyles, and habits and how their sizes help them fit perfectly into their various environments. The wonderment of these stunning creatures, delivered in an engaging cinematic punch, will excite children's imaginations for life, and fully engage any adult with a fascination for the natural world.”
This
is a wonderful picture book suitable for ages 8+ years. It is engaging and
showcases the life of creatures and plants with which we are familiar and
little-known species. Each illustration is accompanied by the dimensions of a particular
subject, which gives a comprehensive idea of relative sizes, i.e. wingspans,
body lengths and heights, etc. Highly informative and educational, it will be
enjoyed by young readers who love learning about Australian nature.
