She now lives in Edinburgh with her two children and two cats, Skye and Socks.

Згадала дитинство, бо в мене була схожа пошукова енциклопедія. Дуже кумедна мальовка

There is currently a great swathe of 'animal' books for young children and they all happen to be beautiful if not always accurate - this one is, thanks to the writer, Anna Claybourne. It's a great size too: a little larger than A3 when opened, so perfect for sharing. With its world map at the start that indicates the habitats and places covered, each double-page spread becomes a look and find affair filled with different creatures from that area and the reader is invited to search and spot all sorts of creatures. Although this format may seem simple, a lot of thought has gone into the presentation - I liked the tiny fact-snippets attached to each creature; enough to give us some detail.
I usually groan at animal books which rely on cute drawings rather than photographs (I want children to see the creature rather than a cartoon of it) but my boys were hooked on this book (3 nights of consecutive exploring) and I found that we would head off to my animal books or go online to see what they really looked like when their interest was peaked.

Children will love looking at this book and the interactive aspect of spotting all of the animals on the page. As a non-fiction book children will love looking at the facts on each page and won’t be overwhelmed by writing as this book is very much picture based.

This one becomes one of our favourite books. Each page has new things every time we read it.

What a fun book. Much like an "I Spy" book, but also so beautifully illustrated. My daughter and I learned a few things along the way too!

Det store dyreeventyr – Søg og find verden rundt er skrevet af Anna Claybourne og Brendan Kearney, og det er en fantastisk bog. Er dit barn, en barnlig sjæl eller er du selv vild med hele verdens dyr, så skal du straks drøne ned i boghandlen og købe denne bog. Du vil ikke fortryde det.
Bogen er i et stort format, så der er plads til at alle kan være med, pege og søge efter de mange fantastisk dyr, der er at finde i denne bog.
Du kan lære alt om de dyr, vi kender, dyrene i Afrika, på savannen, i junglen og i havet. Der kan bruges mange timer med denne bog.
Derudover er stregen så fin, spændende og perfekt til børneøjne. Man kan lade sig fordybe i de smukke og detaljerede illustrationer, samtidig med at der er info om de forskellige dyr og hvad de hedder.
