Children's & Educational; Nature, the natural world (Children's&YA)

Earth's wildlife is nothing short of extraordinary. There are colour-changing chameleons in the forests of Madagascar and cliff-climbing goats in the European Alps.

There are fluorescent fish in the depths of the Mariana Trench and wildfire-surviving echidnas in the Australian bush.

Our World of Wild Wonders explores the unique animal species that inhabit our planet. Some mighty, some meek, but all wondrous in their own special way.

Shall we go explore?

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
