Synopsis:

'The child-appeal of Funny Butts, Freaky Beaks and Other Incredible Creature Features isn't limited to the title' – Guardian


A delightful compendium of all the most unusual and unexpected features in the animal kingdom, from puzzling toes to weird ears, and all the other body parts in between!


These creatures have strange features – but they all serve a very useful purpose. This charming and visually appealing book carries the underlying message that everybody and everything is strange and wonderful in its own way – difference should be celebrated!


'A fascinating introduction to the diversity of life on earth ... This compendium intrigues and delights the reader. It celebrates evolution and creates a feeling of awe and wonder at the variety of the natural world. The book informs and inspires and can be dipped into again and again. Highly recommended for children aged 6+' – The English Association
