My Big Picture Lexicon: Our Animals

Content

In the meadow, in the forest, by the water, in the mountains or on the farm: there are many animals children haven’t heard of yet and whose names they aren’t familiar with. Naturalistic illustrations and fascinating first factual information combine into a lexicon showcasing the world of our native animals. In between, play pages inspire children to actively join in. Which baby animal belongs to which mum and do baby animals have their own names? What do we call the dens and nests of the animals and do animals have a language of their own? Guessing and actively exploring nature are not just lots of fun for little naturalists, even adults will learn a thing or two! A first non-fiction animal book for the whole family.
