In Animated Animals and Other Creatures, Muriel E. Jones takes a light-hearted look at birds and beasts of land, sea and air in every corner of the world. From the hilarious, gregarious penguin of the Antarctic to the jewel-like hummingbird of the tropics or the delicately mannered field mouse nibbling corn in an English barn, each animal is thoroughly researched and accurately described in rhyme. The habits and characters of the hedgehog and the hippo, the cuckoo and the camel are humorously examined in a way that will delight and inspire the young naturalist - especially those who love big words!
