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.
What amazing animal abilities will you discover?
- Weird and Wonderful Animals: Meet a fish that walks on its fins, a snake that glides through the air, and a spider that does flips to escape!
- An Introduction to Zoology: Explore how creatures leap, swim, climb, and even jet-propel themselves through their unique environments.
- A Perfect STEM Read: See how biology, physics, and the environment come together to explain why animals move the way they do.
- Stunning Collage Art: From the Caldecott Honor-winning team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page, with vibrant and scientifically accurate paper collage illustrations.
