Odd Beasts: Meet Nature's Weirdest Animals

by Laura Gehl (Author) Gareth Lucas (Illustrator)

Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Meet nature's oddballs in this charming board book about some of the strangest animals in the world

Barnyard animals--move over! Odd Beasts introduces babies and toddlers to more unusual species, including the glass frog with transparent skin and the pangolin--the only mammal with scales! Gentle rhyming verses provide the comforting repetition that little ones crave, even as their minds are opened to new and fascinating creatures from around the world. At the end of the book, readers will find photographs of each animal, along with more detailed factual information. The eight animals featured are the pangolin, ocean sunfish, glass frog, anglerfish, long-horned orb-weaver spider, Eastern snake-necked turtle, bush baby, and giant jumping stick.
