In Amazing Things Animals Do, Marilyn Baillie shares her passion for nature with primary-school children. The author discusses animals which help each other, baby animals and their families, animals who hide and store their food, and how animals communicate with each other. In her clear and concise text, Baillie poses questions which engage readers and make their experience with the book interactive, while Romi Caron’s gentle watercolour artwork makes the book’s pages inviting to readers. A Who’s Who directory showcases 48 animals using colour photographs and thumbnail descriptions. Adults can expect accurate information here, as a university biology professor served as a consultant on this book. This title, which consists of four of the author’s works previously published separately, garnered the Animal Behaviour Society’s 2004 Most Outstanding Children’s Book Award. mRb
