Each spread in this book illustrates one animal in detail. An eight-year-old child is included in the illustration to give the animals a sense of scale. A scale box gives an idea of their size in comparison to each other. The great diversity of the animal kingdom is the starting point of the book. The book provides the answers to questions about the biggest animals in the sea, the size of the smallest humming-bird, the biggest animal on the land and the size of the smallest kangaroo in the world. It also provides information about the amazing shapes, sizes, lengths and weights of animals all over the world.
