About
the Book
The natural world is nothing if not
diverse. Animals have developed sense organs and body parts of all shapes and
sizes, necessary adaptations that aid them in their struggle to survive. All
Kinds of celebrates this great variety, taking readers on a guided tour of the
main animal groupings—insects, fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and
amphibians—exploring the ways their various representatives see, hear,
smell, taste, feel, and generally move about the world around them. Bright
full-color photographs offer an up-close view of these animals and the
anatomical wonders they are equipped with. Numerous sidebars introduce curious
creatures and little known facts about the many life-forms that make the planet
their home. Author Sara Swan Miller draws on her years of experience teaching
young people to present these vibrant titles offering a lively overview of the
sensual world of nature.
