Part of the "Oxford First Books" series, this title is an introduction to the world of animals, a perennially popular subject with young children. It takes a thematic approach, exploring the different aspects of animal life including feeding, movement, animal senses and reproduction. The book looks at the animal groups, such as mammals, fishes, birds and reptiles, and explores a variety of habitats. Wildlife photography is combined with artwork to produce a book that should inspire as well as inform.
