The World of Wild Animals: An Early Encyclopedia for Beginning Readers

By Philip Longworth

Book Overview

Where do gorillas sleep? How far can a kangaroo jump? Why do lions roar? What do elephants use their trunks for? Are foxes very clever? Children who love animals (and is there any youngster who doesn't?) will delight in finding the answers to these and other fun questions-as well as in looking at photos of their favorite creatures. They'll see a killer whale floating across calm waters and a dolphin leaping high, brown grizzlies and snowy white polar bears, a wild cat that resembles a pet kitty, fierce leopards, tall giraffes, a horned rhinoceros, soaring eagles, and other appealing, intriguing wildlife favorites.
