WILDERNESS (PRESTEL) (HB)

In beautifully coloured and intricately detailed illustrations, this book depicts exotic places such as Senegal's Niokolo-Koba National Park, Russia's Sikhote-Alin mountain range, the Sinharaja Forest Reserve in Sri Lanka, and China's bamboo forests. The animals that live there, cleverly hidden in the trees, plants, and flowers, create a marvellous challenge for young readers to find and identify. Each spread contains more than twenty different species, and the back of the book is filled with additional information about the animals and their habitats.
