Series: DK Amazing Earth

A fascinating and detailed look at the incredible journeys that occur in the animal kingdom

Shortlisted for The Week Junior Children's Book of the Year 2024 in the Animals and Nature category.

Join animals on epic adventures, and travel through the natural world with them.

Across the world, billions of animals are embarking on incredible journeys. Many are in search of food, some are looking for a mate, lots are heading to a warmer climate, and others are just seeking a new home.

Follow the mass migrations of entire species with amazing facts and maps that tell the stories of nature's most amazing journeys. Discover the record-breaking flight of the Arctic Tern, who travels from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back every year, the sharks that follow plankton for enormous distances from the ocean depths to the surface from night to day, spiderlings that shoot strands of thread into the air and ride them like a balloon in the wind to new islands, the mites that hitchhike on beaks of hummingbirds to be carried to new locations, the millions of wildebeest following the rain across the Serengeti, or the Monarch butterflies who use Earth's magnetic field to trace a path along the west coast of North America.

Amazing Animal Journeys is the perfect book for the animal obsessed and the endlessly curious who just can't get enough of wildlife and nature. With engaging information and absorbing images, it's perfect for children to explore by themselves or with an equally curious adult.

Reviews for Amazing Animal Journeys: The Most Incredible Migrations in the Natural World

From mammals to bugs, this colourful book answers so many of those burning questions about where animals go and why. It is packed with facts and figures about a wide variety of animals and their migratory habits. Fact hunters will love the slow migration of the sloth down a tree in order to go to the toilet!! The book covers record breaking flights, plants on the move, hitchhikers and so much more. Perfect for the animal obsessed child and the curious child (or adult). This is a beautiful, engaging book to share. There are some incredible photographs accompanied by maps and illustrations to give a sense of how far these journeys are. Plus there is also a glossary to help the reader understand some of the tricky words. * Read for Good *
