Think you know lots about animals? Think again! Did you know that owls don't have eyeballs? Or that tigers are invisible to their prey?
This book contains 100 incredible things about the animal kingdom, full of creatures that glow, build, scheme, dance and everything in between. Perfect for dipping in and out of, it covers a wide range of topics, from frogs that have antifreeze in their blood and pandas that do handstands, to animal-inspired inventions and newts in space.
Presented with bold, graphic illustrations and bite-sized text, each page has an unusual or unexpected fact you can take away and use to wow your friends and family.
Written in consultation with experts and ideal for fact-loving readers aged 8+.
Alice James (Author)
Alice James joined Usborne after working in primary schools for a while. She absolutely loves science, and over the years has lived with chimps, spent a month in the rainforest, studied Biology at Oxford University, and grown 200 carnivorous plants (not necessarily in that order). Whilst at Usborne Alice has worked on books on all kinds of science topics, from space to energy to the periodic table.
Victoria Williams (Author)
Victoria (Vicky to almost everyone) has degrees in Evolutionary Biology and Science Communication, and loves writing about the weird and wonderful world. When she's not writing or reading, you'll probably find her walking, dancing, gaming, watching wildlife or baking a cake.
Rose Hall (Author)
Rose grew up in Northumberland, studied Physiology at Oxford and looked after orphaned orangutans for a bit. She worked in the charity sector for ten years, writing about issues from renewable energy, to the safety of workers in Bangladesh. For Usborne, she's written books about engineering, business, computers and the environment.
