Nicola Davies, the award-winning author of A First Book of Nature, presents a sp
ellbinding treasury of poems about the animal world, illustrated in breathtaking

art of the woods - there are animals everywhere. From blue whales to bumblebee b
ats and everything in between, A First Book of Animals takes you all over the pl
