Powerful hunter, tireless swimmer, tender mother, gentle playmate — she is superbly adapted for surviving, even thriving, in this harsh and icy climate. Written in poetic language interspersed with fascinating facts, Nicola Davies’ breathtaking tale of this massive, stark white animal is brought to life in striking paintings by Gary Blythe. This little girl has a problem. Her family doesn’t have dogs, or cats, or birds—they have snakes! And she really, really, doesn’t like snakes. Packed with snake trivia, this clever story includes realistic illustrations and simple explanations of snake behavior sure to make even slither-phobic readers shed their misconceptions about these fascinating reptiles. High on a mist-wrapped mountain, a mother panda cradles her newborn. The bamboo patch they need for food is dying, and as soon as her baby is old enough, they must seek a new home. Nick Dowson’s lyrical text follows one of nature’s most endangered species on its search for a safe habitat, while Yu Rong’s delicate brushwork brings these legendary creatures to life. What’s the deadliest animal in Africa? It’s not the lion or the crocodile—it’s the hippopotamus! Hippos have razor-sharp tusks, weigh as much as fifty men, and can run twenty-five miles per hour! Follow these hefty hulks as they glide underwater, play tug-of- war, swat balls of dung at one another, and nuzzle their young in the mud. Just don’t get too close—they could chomp you in two!
