Wondrous Creatures

In Wondrous Creatures, world traveler and photographer Dean Jacobs teaches children about the animal kingdom through photos, stories, recordings, 3D maps, simple quizzes, and more—all while reinforcing reading skills and knowledge of the alphabet. 


Covering a different creature for every letter from A to Z, Dean explains what each one eats, where it lives, its size, and what makes it special. For letter X, Dean invites readers to create their own animal using special drawing and writing tools built right into the book. Those who have found creatures in their own backyard can also use this book to write about, photograph, and share their findings with others.
