Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An ideal book for children fascinated by wild animals and eager to find out more about the daily lives of big cats.
In his latest wildlife book for children, Steve Bloom takes us on an expedition to photograph awe-inspiring big-cat predators--lions, leopards, cheetahs, and tigers--in their natural environments. We follow Bloom as he travels across continents observing the lives of big cats: their family structures, hunting techniques, and how they survive in tough conditions.
Presented as a visual journal with a clear and engaging day-by-day format, the book features firsthand commentary on life in the wild along with detailed photographs. It concludes with a section on how Bloom photographs wild animals, accompanied by helpful tips so that children can photograph their own pets at home.
