Susan Patterson presents nature's most unusual and adorable creatures in this illustrated guide for curious young minds. The book showcases over 50 lesser-known animals including axolotes, chinchillas, sugar gliders, sloths, spoonbills, panda ants, and pangolins. Each creature gets attention for what makes it both strange and endearing. Artist Hsinping Pan provides whimsical illustrations that bring these flyers, swimmers, and crawlers to life on the page. Patterson builds on her previous success with Big Words for Little Geniuses by turning her focus to the animal kingdom's most unexpected residents. Young readers discover that Earth hosts remarkable creatures they never knew existed, from tiny insects to exotic mammals.
