Synopses & Reviews
"Strikingly detailed illustrations and some lesser-known animals make this more than just another lift-the-flap book...While some spreads give readers a visual clue as to the identity of the dweller, most will really test children's animal-identification skills. The small trim makes this exploration of habitats nicely intimate." -Kirkus Reviews
We are not birds but we can fly. We like to sleep beneath a leaf high in the trees. What are we?
Engaging riddles introduce key facts about each animal with more information in a glossary in the back. The perfect book for the inquisitive young naturalist!
