About this ebook
A red-lipped batfish waddles across the sea floor on its fins, searching for small sea creatures to eat. Other animals may fly or glide, or jet-propel themselves to get around. These creatures come equipped with legs, wings, or tentacles, and they often move from place to place in surprising ways. In the latest eye-catching escape into the kingdom of Animalia, Caldecott Honor-winning team Jenkins and Page show how animals roll, fly, walk, leap, climb, swim and even flip! This fascinating and fun illustrated nonfiction melds science, art, biology, and the environment together in a detailed and well-researched book about how animals move in our world today.
The animal kingdom is full of surprising movers—from the sea floor to the treetops.
- Amazing Animal Movement: Discover how a red-lipped batfish waddles on its fins, a pebble toad tumbles downhill, and a jellyfish uses jet-propulsion to zoom through the sea.
- Stunning Collage Art: Vibrant and detailed torn- and cut-paper collage illustrations bring each unique creature to life, making this a visual feast for young readers.
- Fun and Educational: Makes learning about biology exciting and memorable, perfect for sparking curiosity in the classroom, for a homeschool unit, or at home.
- From a Caldecott Honor Team: By the celebrated author-illustrator team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page, creators of the award-winning book "What Do You Do with a Tail Like This?".
