Children can get up close to creatures from the wild in this stunningly-photographed book, created by a National Geographic photographer. Each image offers an intimate view of an animal's face that will engage and fascinate children of all ages. As they look time and time again, they will learn about all sorts of wildlife and their exotic features: a furry cat's whiskers help it to find its way in the dark; a lovebird's feathers protect its thin sensitive skin; a chameleon's eyes actually swivel so they can look forward and behind. 30 full colour photographs illustrate the animals close-up: faces; eyes; ears; noses; mouths; cat; lizard; lovebird; frog; rooster; fly; chameleon; crab; cow; hedgehog; goat; squirrel; sheep; elephant; dog; turtle; katydid; alligator; snake; starfish; sloth; butterfly; and captions for each photograph explain how animals see, hear, taste and smell.
