Описание: From the dung-beetle to the blue whale, no creature is too humble or huge for Finnish author and illustrator duo Laura Merz and Aino J rvinen in 1,001 Creatures, a gorgeously illustrated, interactive exploration of the natural world.
Under the sun, the moon, and the stars
all the creatures of the world, big and small,
carry out their own tasks
as part of natures great balance.
Have you ever wondered how a crocodile keeps its teeth clean? Or why herons like to sit on the backs of water buffalo? What exactly does a giant blue whale eat to get so big? In 1,001 Creatures, Aino J rvinen and Laura Merz playfully investigate the complex and awe-inspiring world of twenty-six fascinating insects, reptiles, and mammals.
With fun facts and captivating illustrations, 1,001 Creatures explores the diversity of the animal world and its ecosystems. Interactive questions allow readers to take their curiosity and imagination off the page and into the real world with prompts to create their own artwork, imitate a camels unique walk, and discover the ways in which all creatures are connected in the world. J rvinens humorous style and Merzs unique watercolor illustrations painted from memory using non-traditional materials, enhance the central message that were all in this together--human, squid, and penguin alike.
