Praise for the series: 'An absolute wonder ... with just the right level of information for primary school kids to be truly fascinated and inspired to find out more. Highly recommended.' * Booktrust * [Owen's series] would make perfect gifts for a child (or adult) with a special interest in a particular animal, or to build up a whole collection. * @milo_and_gigis_bookshelf on Instagram * Imbued with Owen Davy's gentle humour, and with a wealth of his signature style illustrations that make each page opening a treat, this fact-packed book is another must have for wild animal lovers, budding zoologists and classroom collections. * Red Reading Hub *
