Animal

Scientific precision and visual poetry combine in this stunningly beautiful book, brought to life by laser cut-outs and flaps. Here are animals as you've never seen them before! Hélène Druvert's clever lasercuts and dazzling illustrations take you on a trip to meet some of the most fascinating members of the animal kingdom, from the tiniest insects to majestic whales. Learn how fireflies find a mate, which birds build the biggest nests, how an octopus deals with danger and why sloths have green fur. This fascinating, well-documented book takes the reader on a journey to meet species of different colours and sizes, where familiar creatures rub shoulders with rare and mysterious fauna, and where all living environments are represented. Births and metamorphoses, skeletons and ornaments, defence and seduction strategies, the arts of hunting and communication... this is the infinite wealth of biodiversity that unfolds in striking thematic double-page spreads. With remarkable attention to detail and a unique aesthetic, Hélène Druvert highlights the beauty of this precious animal world, to help readers of all ages learn more and encourage its preservation.
