<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"You probably know what your favorite animals look like, but do you really have any idea how big or small they really are? Could you picture the size of a tiger's face, or an elephant's tail, or an ostrich's egg? Life-Size Animals has pages and pages of life-size illustrations of different animals' tongues, teeth, claws, eggs, tails, and more. It encourages readers to compare the sizes of the different animals to themselves-seeing how long their tongues compared to a giraffe or how big their eyes are compared to a giant squid's--and it helps to put in context just how big or small these incredible creatures are. Packed with facts and incredible illustrations, this is the kind of book that curious readers can pore over for hours and return to again and again"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A gorgeously illustrated, oversize picture book that shows young readers the sizes of their favorite animals</b> <p/> Could you picture the size of a tiger's face, or an elephant's tail, or an ostrich's egg? <i>Life-Size Animals</i> shows the actual size of your favorite animals' tongues, teeth, claws, eggs, tails, and more.
