Through these paintings, children are brought face to face with wildlife from around the world. Brian Wildsmith has captured the essence of each animal, from the playfulness of otters to a noisy gathering of parrots. His panoramic pictures also give a real sense of the animals' habitats--from a sun-soaked plain where elephants roam to icy Antarctica where penguins huddle together. Collective nouns--some familiar, others surprising--are used to describe each group of animals.
