Subsequent spreads, illustrated with scenic compositions, are dedicated to specific beasts, including armadillos, bears, tigers and the Tasmanian Devil. Later spreads approach the world of beasts thematically, looking at mythical beasts, Ice-Age beasts, beasts on your street and how to save beasts in danger. The text is chatty, funny and full of amazing facts. Review: Packed with fascinating facts - All sorts of interesting facts and beautiful illustrations about our present day companions and their ice age ancestors. My six year old grandson devours and retains such knowledge. I can still devour, but retaining is a bit more tricky, nevertheless I too found this a fascinating book. Packed with information about the animal world it is definately educational in an entertaining, but non lecturing way. I realy enjoy the mutual pleasure we derive from this excellent book. PS so good that when offered another free from the Vine programme I grabbed it for my other grandson.
