Reviews

"This poster book is devoted to glossy, suitable-for-framing photos of animals in their native habitats. "Dancing" polar bears, a snowshoe hare and bats in a cave are just three of the 30 animals presented on heavy stock paper. The back of each picture has information on the animal, its native region, what it eats and fun facts."
