A brilliant vocabulary builder for budding naturalists

Young animal enthusiasts will discover a fascinating world of words from the animal kingdom - from arachnid to biped to crustacean - in this beautifully illustrated vocabulary adventure. This engaging book brings together 100 carefully chosen words to describe animals both great and small, each one selected to delight, surprise, and inform natural history fans.

Each of the twenty double-page spreads explores a different habitat, featuring five interesting words chosen by natural history experts alongside stunning artwork from bestselling illustrator Monika Forsberg. Children can explore animal lifecycles with words like 'larvae' and 'nymph', understand classification with terms like 'reptile' and 'mammal', discover behaviours with 'hibernate' and 'migrate', and simply delight in fascinating animal parts like 'proboscis' and 'tentacle'.

Every spread includes a seek-and-find game to keep young readers engaged, while clear definitions at the bottom of each page explain what these wonderful words mean. The back section provides additional information about animal classification, making this both an entertaining activity book and a valuable learning resource.

Created by BBC presenter and expedition leader Will Millard, this is part of the bestselling Little Word Whizz series that has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide - proof that building vocabulary can be both educational and enormous fun.

Suitable for children aged 4 years and up
