The Animal Book

JENKINS, STEVE

Animals smooth and spiky, fast and slow, hop and waddle through the two hundred plusÃ'šÃ‚ pages of the Caldecott Honor artist Steve Jenkinsââ'š¬Ã¢'ž¢s most impressive nonfiction offering yet. Sections such as ââ'š¬Ã…'œAnimal Senses,ââ'š¬Ã‚ ââ'š¬Ã…'œAnimal Extremes,ââ'š¬Ã‚ and ââ'š¬Ã…'œThe Story of Lifeââ'š¬Ã‚ burst with fascinating facts and infographics that will have trivia buffs breathlessly asking, ââ'š¬Ã…'œDo you knowÃ'šÃ‚ a termite queen can produce up to 30,000 eggs a day?ââ'š¬Ã‚ Jenkinsââ'š¬Ã¢'ž¢s color-rich cut- and torn-paper artwork is as strikingly vivid as ever. Rounding out this bountiful browsersââ'š¬Ã¢'ž¢ almanac of more than three hundred animals is a discussion of the artistââ'š¬Ã¢'ž¢s bookmaking process, an animal index, a glossary, and a bibliography. A bookshelf essential!
