Description

We share our planet with some truly weird and wonderful creatures, from blobfish to pink fairy armadillos, who all (lets be honest) seem pretty pointless. But what do these creatures actually do!

A witty, quirky, colourfully-illustrated book featuring some very silly animals. With a humorous, sardonic tone throughout, it contains funny labelled diagrams and some excellent made-up Latin names (n.b. the jellyfishs scientific name is not actually wibblious wobblious ouchii) but, importantly, it conveys genuinely fascinating facts about these animals, who are perhaps not so pointless after all.

Author Bio

Philip Bunting is an author and illustrator, with a soft spot for creating picture books for sleep-deprived, time-poor, raisin-encrusted parents (and their children).

Philips work deliberately encourages playful interaction between the reader and child, allowing his books to create a platform for genuine intergenerational engagement and fun. He believes that the more fun the child has during their early reading experiences, the more likely they will be to return to books, improve their emergent literacy skills, and later find joy in reading and learning.

Philips bookshave been translated into multiple languages and published in over 25 countries around the world. Since his first book was published in 2017, Philip has received multiple accolades, including Honours from the Childrens Book Council of Australia, and making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2018.

Philip grew up in the Englands Lake District and now lives with his young family in the hills behind Noosa.
