by Millie Marotta
OVERVIEW
This beautiful volume features 90 amazing animals from around the world, with a focus on endangered and vulnerable species. Containing a rich mix of wildlife from the adorable axolotl to the much-loved snow leopard, it’s a celebration of creatures that are currently at risk, but that humanity is making efforts to save. Use your pencils or pens to bring colorful life to a wealth of wonderful animals, all rendered in Millie's exquisitely intricate style, including:
- Big beasts like the Javan rhino, the wild camel, and the elusive mountain gorilla
- Treasures of the sea: the humphead wrasse, the mini blue bee shrimp, and the majestic blue whale
- The insects that pollinate our world, including different bumblebee species and the monarch butterfly
- “Lazarus species,” thought to be extinct but now discovered in the world, such as the coelacanth and the solenodon, and a few long-extinct and near-mythological animals—the woolly mammoth and the saber-toothed tiger.
