The Animal Card Box

Wild animals populate every corner of the globe, from the polar regions, mountains, woodlands and rivers to tropical rainforests, grasslands and deserts. They come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes and prove endlessly fascinating to children of all ages. This fabulous deck of cards features 101 of the world's most engaging, exciting and popular animal species. The cards are grouped according to related animal types: reptiles and amphibians; carnivores; primates, shrews and marsupials; small mammals; hoofed animals and elephants; and dophins, whales and seals. From well-known animals such as the red fox, polar bear and great ape to less familiar species like the Australian Komodo Dragon and the Ganges river dolphin each card is packed full of information. Each animal entry is accompanied by a detailed color illustration and a lively description of their physical characteristics and behavior. A color map indicates where in the world the animal lives and an at-a-glance panel details distribution, habitat, food sources, size, life span and conservation status. The attractive presentation box has two unique features. A fold-away easel on the back of the box makes it stand up securely, and sturdy corner pockets on the front allow individual cards to be dropped in neatly for hands-free display and viewing. Beautifully produced and illustrated throughout this lovely card deck makes a perfect gift for anyone interested in wildlife and the environment.Jackson, Tom is the author of 'The Animal Card Box', published 2008 under ISBN 9780754818212 and ISBN 0754818217.
