Acclaim for Buckle and Squash & the Monstrous Moat Dragon:
This is a great, fact packed book, with photos and drawings on every page. Very colourful and confines itself to British Isles creatures, but the potential to identify others is clear because of guidelines. We are told every time to put creatures back where they were found. Young naturalists from 6 - 14 years will have a great time. Sections cover plants, seaweeds, shells, birds, fish, whales, seals, crabs, molluscs etc.
