The world's rarest baby creatures are anxious . . . and no wonder—it seems their homes and habitats are at risk
Explore the world of endangered animals in this beautifully illustrated peep-through picture book features an adorable cast from around the world. Imaginary conversations between mother and baby animals (pandas, elephants, snow leopards, chimps, and porpoises) highlight how both global and local human impact is threatening their habitats, as well as the things—both natural and human—that make it a better place. With hole-in-the-page novelty, "think about" boxes, and a pleading refrain from the animals to remember it's their world too, this book is playful in approach but serious in message to give children an awareness of important environmental issues and encouragement to be kind to their planet.
In a remarkable text, Eric Grace sets out to discover the true nature of lions. His lively and informed discussion of these creatures is accompanied by stunning photographs by the world-renowned wildlife photographer Art Wolfe.
From how a lion's physical construction makes it one of nature's greatest hunters, to the conditions that have made lions the only truly social cats, all aspects of lions' biology and behavior are discussed in The Nature of Lions. The book explores the magical and checkered relationship between humans and lions from prehistory to the present, and includes a look at the status of lions today and efforts to preserve them.
Throughout, spectacular photographs show lions chasing a herd of wildebeests, eating their kill on the savanna, caring for their young, or basking in the shade of an acacia tree. Together, the images and text capture the power and majesty of this most social of cats.
