A designer’s dream or indeed anyone with an eye for art, this hefty book will be highly sought after by adults and children alike.

Dieter Braun takes us on an exciting adventure through countries and continents in search of the world’s most incredible animals.
From the smallest to the largest animals, feathered friends to fur, on land and in sea, we are invited to learn about a wide range of diverse species, which are explored in more detail.
Not only do we discover a wealth of wildlife, we also take a subtle, almost unknowing, geographical lesson along the way.
We begin our journey in North America, where we are introduced to the majestic Bald Eagle, the quirky Blue-Footed Booby, the terrifying Texas Rattlesnake and the imposing Kodiak Bear.
Moving on to Europe, where there are a whole new set of animals to learn about, including the nocturnal Barn Owl and the regal White Swan.
We end our trip in the vast Asian continent, with their red-faced Japanese Macaques, the immense Giant Panda and the crested Mandarin Duck.
Accompanied by breathtaking, earthy-toned illustrations and sparse white pages with consolidated text, any child would enjoy flicking through this illustrated encyclopedia of animals from far and wide.
Fun facts, statistics and punchy descriptions all add to the desirability of the latest quality offering from Flying Eye Books.
Some animals you will undoubtedly know, others you may never even heard of, either way you won’t fail to be delighted by this deluxe, design-led publication.
