Also included is a map of where each creature lives on the globe, plus a list of helpful resources and the author's favorite nature conservation organizations.
Sure to be a favorite for kids and adults alike, Wildlife on Paper opens the world wide as you marvel at the gorgeous crumpled paper art journey through the ocean, forest, desert, and more to learn about the diversity of animals and their incredible characteristics.
