A beautiful anthology of the world's weirdest animals!Have you heard of the pumpkin toadlet, or the pig-nosed turtle? How about the bearded vulture and the tree kangaroo? In this beautiful anthology, kids will come face to face with some of the world's most unique and truly bizarre-looking animals. From epic mountaintops to the depths of our oceans, they'll meet magnificent leafy seadragons, horned screamers who sport a long horn on their foreheads (just like unicorns!), and clumsy pumpkin toadlets flinging themselves through the forest floor.Weird animals often act weirdly, too! Kids will be shocked to learn that the Eastern quoll can glow under UV light, and that giraffe-necked weevils pick fights by swinging their long necks like wrecking balls! This book is perfect for STEM learning. Kids will discover why binturongs smell like popcorn, why the pink Amazon river dolphins have wrinkles on their noses, and why a star-nosed mole's iconic nose is shaped, well, like a star!Wildlife enthusiast and podcast host Ellen Weatherford adds a touch of humour and whimsy to each spread. With 128 pages filled with beautiful and timeless artwork by star illustrator Nikola Aronová, kids can dip in and out of this beautiful anthology.Featuring timeless artwork by Nikola Aronová and boasting a cover filled with foil, 101 Animals You've Never Heard Of is a beautiful gift for animal-mad kids.
