Zoom in on the world's most incredible creatures

If your child could be pint-sized like a pipistrelle bat, or see eye-to-eye with a housefly they'd encounter a miniature world of strange body shapes, weird and wonderful behaviour, and some jaw-dropping insights into life for the very small.

Thanks to nature photographer Igor Siwanowicz's incredible photographs, they can do just that. With these astonishing images, they'll see in eye-popping close up detail how tiny creatures hunt, feed, move, survive and thrive.

There are familiar creatures like flies and beetles to look at, along with exotic birds, reptiles, amphibians and rodents. Discover what makes them different and how they cope with living in highly varied habitats. With Igor's behind the scenes guide on how to photograph such tiny beasts, this is an awesome view of nature in miniature.

      Gr 4-6-An eye-catching cover will attract readers to this amazing look at some of the world's insects, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. The focus is on animals small enough to fit in a child's hand. Siwanowicz showcases each creature with a spread containing a full-color, high-quality, close-up photo surrounded by multiple factual asides. A tiny silhouette map indicates where the animal lives, and is accompanied by information on the creature's status on the threatened species list and its scientific name, normal life span, and size. The book is packed with interesting material that captures the author's fascination for small creatures. This is a fascinating browsing title that will also work as a starting point for reports."Lynn K. Vanca, Akron-Summit County Public Library, Richfield, OH"
