'This book is a thing of rare beauty'- David Walliams
Perfect for animal-lovers everywhere! A beautiful,large-format crossover book for all ages,this is the book natural-history illustrator Ben has wanted to read since he was a child.
Facts and descriptions provide insight into a curated collection of birds and animals - some endangered and some less so - told from the perspective of a detail-obsessed illustrator.
Fun to read together or independently,let the secrets of the animals on our planet come to life in vibrant detail.
'This is my love letter to Planet Earth; a celebration of her hidden species,from the bold and the beautiful to the interesting but ugly. And while not a complete list,I hope that these few give a glimpse of the outstanding diversity of nature' - Ben Rothery
