Owen Davey – författare

Visste du att hajar kan känna av elektriska strömmar från andra varelser? Eller att vissa är täckta av små tofsar? Hajar kan vara helt fantastiska vissa kan till och med ta sig upp ur vattnet! I den här uppslukande boken presenteras nya intressanta fakta om de här otroliga fiskarna på 40 helillustrerade sidor. Boken presenterar stora och små hajar, vanliga och ovanliga, hur de lever, vad och hur de äter och om de har några fiender. Hajar fanns faktiskt långt före dinosaurierna och har alltså överlevt det mesta. Ett fascinerande avsnitt är när en människas storlek jämförs med olika hajarter. Författaren diskuterar också hur hajens framtid ser ut och vad vi kan göra för att hjälpa hajarna.

Efter att vi lärt oss allt om hajar och kattdjur så kommer nu en lika vacker och spännande bok om apor. Det finns över 250 sorters apor på jorden. I den här boken beskrivs flera apor, från den minsta dvärgsilkesapan till den största mandrillen. Vi får lära oss hur de bor, vad de äter och vilken apa som är den smartaste. Precis som i de tidigare böckerna får vi lära oss lite mytologi men också hur vi ska tänka och göra för att aporna ska fortsätta leva som de gör.
