Amazing Animal Journeys by Chris Packham and Jason Cockroft
We have been blessed lately with a wave of beautiful non-fiction titles and this book on animal migration around the world is no exception.
In language simple enough for a five-year-old to understand, the narrative discusses the process of animals seasonally shifting from one part of the planet to another. With gentle illustrations that feature three kids as they explore the oceans, the skies, and the fields, we learn facts about different animals and their migration patterns. For example, did you know that the leatherback turtle has a third eye on top of its head that helps it to find its way to a safe beach to breed?
This is a delightful educational text that will have great appeal for animal lovers aged 5-9.
