<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Explore unusual animal locomotion through incredible art and fascinating facts from the Caldecott Honor-winning team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A red-lipped batfish waddles across the sea floor on its fins, searching for small sea creatures to eat. Other animals may fly or glide, or jet-propel themselves to get around. These creatures come equipped with legs, wings, or tentacles, and they often move from place to place in surprising ways. In the latest eye-catching escape into the kingdom of Animalia, Caldecott Honor-winning team Jenkins and Page show how animals roll, fly, walk, leap, climb, swim and even flip! This fascinating and fun illustrated nonfiction melds science, art, biology, and the environment together in a detailed and well-researched book about how animals move in our world today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "As usual, Jenkins's collages capture the animals' distinctive characteristics with precision and attention to detail, while a closing spread offers notable tidbits about the animals within." <br><b>--Publishers Weekly, STARRED review</b> <p/>* "This fine overview is destined to be a popular addition to any science collection." <br><b>--School Library Journal, STARRED review</b> <p/> "...the featured animals are well chosen for diversity and interest, and the locomotion methods are startling and intriguing.
