Synopsis

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON SOLD IN 10 LANGUAGES – FROM AWARD-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR JENNI DESMOND AND UK TRAVEL WRITER OF THE YEAR MIKE UNWIN

Brrrr! It’s the middle of the Antarctic. All you can see for miles is ice. But look closer. A line of figures is trooping over the frozen terrain. From a distance they look like people. But soon you can see that they’re penguins, each follows the one in front.

Follow the amazing migrations of 20 creatures in this spectacular book: trek across South Africa with gigantic elephants, scour Christmas Island and find a million red crabs, and observe a cloud of fruit bats as they take to the midnight sky over Kasanka Forest. Travel around the globe with some of the world's most incredible animals and discover their unique migration stories.

Written by Mike Unwin, a UK Travel Writer of the Year, and illustrated by Jenni Desmond, winner of the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book, prepare yourself for a journey like no other.
