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.

It questions whether a sloth moves at all and why some animals have to be slow to survive or fast to go in for the kill.
