Animals Like Us

£12.99

The world's endangered creatures speak out!

Introduction

Animals like us is an entertaining and thought-provoking book that celebrates the lives of endangered animals, and allows children to explore the complex problems that threaten their survival.

Find out about some of the most amazing animals in the world – their family life, how they get their food, and where they live, in their very own words! Meet a marine iguana or hang out with an orangutan and discover how you can help make the world a safer place for them to live.

Hang out with an orangutan: “I’m a lot like you. Look how I can grip things with my hands, but my feet are more useful than yours.”

Run with a speeding cheetah: “If all the land animals in the world had a race, I would win. I have to run really fast to catch my dinner…”

Meet a marine iguana: “You might be surprised to know that I’m related to the dinosaurs. I change colour depending on what I eat.”

The book is divided into the five main habitats of the world, with the animals that live there grouped under each. There are fun facts and links to websites to explore, so children can play their part in helping to make the future of the animals safer, healthier, and happier.

Full of easily accessible information and superb photography, including did you know facts, locator maps, population figures, as well as reasons for the decline in species.

Amazing facts ensure Animals like us will appeal to children of all ages. Children will learn how animals look, grow, and communicate, as well as gaining an insight into their lifestyle.

In association with ARKive, an Internet-based charitable trust launched by Sir David Attenborough.

A donation from every book sold goes to ARKive - a not-for-profit initiative of Wildscreen, to help raise awareness of endangered species.
