Media Reviews
Martin Jenkins brings natural history up to the minute...with a chatty style and irreverent approach. Sue Shields' brilliant psychedelic creatures inch their way across the pages. Informative and fun, this book makes facts amusingly accessible. * The Oxford Times *
All the idiosyncrasies of these fascinating creatures are discussed here in an intimately conversational style with well drawn analogies...a likely favourite with young readers. * Reading Time *
