Who Are You Calling Weird?: A Celebration of Weird & Wonderful Animals - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

This visually compelling book celebrates the weird but wonderful creatures that are hidden away in Earth’s forests, caves, and oceans. These animals might look or behave in peculiar ways but, as the reader will soon find out, every oddity serves a purpose. From the green fur of a three-toed sloth, to the pink and wiggly appendage of the star-nosed mole, there’s something new to marvel at on every page. As well as finding out about each animal’s behaviour, diet, and habitat, readers will also discover the folk beliefs about the creature.
