Books with X-Ray Vision: Animals in the City

Age range 9 to 12

Books with X-Ray Vision: Animals in the City is an ingenious and innovative new title where children can hold some of the pages up to the light to see the insides of some of the diverse animal species that live in cities worldwide.

Alongside these dazzling optical effects, the books also provide fascinating introductions, in bite-sized chunks of text, to the strange, surprising and extraordinary ways that some animals have adapted to urban life. You’ll dive under New York pavements to discover the populations of ants that have made it their home, learn about the many nasty diseases carried by rats, and marvel at the ways that spiders and birds have found to use streetlights and traffic to gather food.
