Animals come in all shapes and sizes.. big and small, fast and slow, scaly and furry, stripy and spotty. And here's a bright and beautiful interactive board book to teach little ones the wonder of diversity in the animal world. Creature Features is packed with a menagerie of weird and wonderful creatures, all grouped by their unusual features, from bright beaks to long tongues and fantastic fur. Animals are mostly grouped into big families, like birds which have feathers, and fish which swim in the water. But there are other ways of grouping them too... like big noses and giant antlers! Turn the pages of this gorgeously illustrated book to discover some of the surprising features linking animals from all round the world. Vibrantly illustrated with both colour and texture by new talent Natasha Durley, this really is an animal book with a difference.

And with something to look for on every page, it's guaranteed to inspire and fascinate young animal lovers. Discover how having big eyes is helpful for seeing in the dark, how long noses and snouts are great for sniffing out smells, how big ears give animals sharp hearing, how tails help animals to balance, and long bendy necks are ideal for reaching food in high trees or on low ground. Creature Features is a glorious riot of colour, creatures and amazing facts, all presented in a lively and eye-catching format that will have youngsters turning the pages in wonder and delight. * Lancashire Evening Post *

A vibrantly illustrated A4 board book absolutely crammed full of colourful creatures. Natasha has shied away from classifying these animals into their traditional families such as mammals and reptiles. She has instead chosen to group some unlikely combinations of animals which share a particular feature. Be it enormous eyes or excellent armour, each animal has its moment in the limelight.
The colourful illustrations really appeal to me and I love the questions on the pages which are designed to promote discussion as you share the book. It's also fantastic to see such a range of fantastic creatures represented: pangolins, fossa, the common loon all stake their claim on the pages.
It really changes the way you look at the animal kingdom. Great for ages 6 and up.
