Where do birds and animals spend their days... and where do they sleep at night?

Big Picture Press, an imprint of the busy Bonnier Publishing group, loves giving youngsters a spectacular view of the world and its wonders in their array of top quality and beautifully designed discovery books. This is the third book in their popular Walk This Wild World series and invites children to travel to a different continent with every turn of the page, lift the flaps and enjoy a dazzling celebration of animal and plant life, and their hidden habitats. Peer under the desert sand and find giant wasps that can kill a tarantula spider, visit the Amazon to discover the cacao tree which is used to make chocolate and unearth a longeared hedgehog in the vast Russian steppe. Lift the flaps and see polar bears in the Arctic tundra, tigers in the foothills of the Himalayas and the incredible sea life in Antarctica's Southern ocean. Brewster's stunning artwork brings the animals to life and a beautiful rhyming text, brimming with easy-to understand facts, explains where they live, eat and sleep.

Walk This Wild World is a stunningly illustrated, lift-the-flap board book. Each page spread explores a new habitat and country and offers a variety of animals, reptiles and insects, and even plant life. Flaps of different sizes are spread out and offer interesting facts. Sam Brewster's graphic style is distinctive and works extremely well with this style of book. From Peccaries and Kangaroo rats in the Sonoran dessert, to the blue morpho, the largest butterfly in the Amazon. You'll discover a huge selection of creatures in a variety of countries such as the Serengeti, the Spanish wetlands, the windy coast of the Hebrides, a vast green Russian steppe, to the snowy Himalayan peaks among a few others. There is also a world map at the end to show the journey that you have taken. Though Aoife may be too young to understand the facts, she is still enjoying this book, finding the flaps and trying to learn the animal names. It's one she likes to pick up daily. It's a beautiful discovery book, that's high quality, that any young or old animal lover will enjoy exploring! * The BookWorm Baby *
