Children aged 812 can see 36 incredible endangered animals up close in the latest entry in the bestselling Magnificent series.
Travel across the worlds wild habitats to encounter the incredible endangered animals that live there.
Each of the 36 double-page spreads showcases its own endangered animal, with a stunning and scientifically accurate illustration bringing each one to life. The artwork is complemented by a series of illuminating facts for inquisitive minds fascinated with the natural world. A mini fact file accompanies each animal, informing curious readers about the habitat, diet, conservation status and more. Children can pinpoint where their favorite animals live by using the map at the back of the book.
Meet pandas and penguins, big cats and tiny bats, blue whales and butterflies. Armed with a newfound knowledge of this rare world, children will find out how hippos make their own swimming goggles, which mammal can nearly climb Mount Everest, and which fish is the size of a small car.
