This volume covers the weird animals and plants which inhabit the Earth. Artwork brings each animal and plant to life, and feature boxes give further information about size, habitat and behaviour. Locator maps place the animals and plants geographically, to enable the reader to learn about the environment. Why does a shark have a head shaped like a hammer? Which animal has the body of a beaver, but the feet of a duck? How does a plant hitch a ride on a passing rhinoceros? This book helps young readers to discover some of the most bizarre beasts and peculiar plants on Earth. Anita Ganeri is the author of "Animal Hideaways" and "Animals in Disguise".
