Dr George McGavin, BBC presenter, lecturer and explorer
<p>Designed to encourage inquiry, discussion and critical thinking and features a teacher challenging her class to come to their own conclusions about who is the most important animal of all. Why not challenge your pupils to take on a similar challenge?</p>
Teach Primary Book Club
<p>This book will inspire classes or any reader to find out more about other animals and will lead them to continue their own research projects. It’s the book that I never realised that I needed!</p>
Dean Boddington @MisterBodd
<p>The book itself is an absolute cornucopia of information about some of the most fascinating and important creatures on this planet. There’s such a lot to explore – life cycles, photos, diagrams, and fact files, but it’s all presented in such a beautiful and engaging manner that children will love reading it. I would thoroughly recommend this for children across a primary school …</p>
Library Girl and Book Boy @BookSuperhero2
<p>I particularly loved the way the information was given through the words of the child learning about it. I thought this was a really original way of sharing the information and making it really accessible to the reader. I also really enjoyed the combination of illustrations and photos. Bailey’s images were bright and engaging, while the photos gave some more realistic context of the animals and their habitats.<em> </em></p>
The Teacher Bookworm @primaryteachew
<p>The book is an excellent reference book and includes a handy glossary and a useful list of websites and organisations signposting readers to further information. Scientific vocabulary is contextualised and explained. Diagrams clearly explain food webs and show the relationship between different animals in an eco-system. The book includes both illustrations and photographs of the seven chosen animals and this combination works really well.</p>
Get Kids Into Books @GetKidsin2Books
<p>Packed with information about a myriad of species, and combining captivating illustrations and photographs showing them up close and in their habitats, this is a brilliant book to introduce the concepts of habitat loss, endangered species and climate change to younger readers.</p>
