The flow of information isn't always straightforward, but eye-catching photos and accessible texts give readers a sense of these creatures and their special features. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Fabulous Animals titles: The Story of the Kangaroo and The Story of the Platypus.
