Each animal receives a two-page spread: one side features a bold tarot-card-inspired illustration, the other presents key facts about habitat, diet, predators, and their specific superpowers—whether superstrength, speed, intelligence, or chemical warfare. Written by Soledad Romero Mariño, who specialises in 'best of' collections, and illustrated by Sonia Pulido.
