Backyard Beasts: All About the Wild Mammals of Europe
Awarded with a Flag and Pennant
Tipped by the Dutch Children’s Jury
Many people think that if you want to see interesting animals, you have to fly to faraway places. But they are wrong! You can find amazing animals in Europe, too. Some of them you already know well, such as pigs, deer and seals. But did you know that our continent is also home to many lesser-known creatures? How about the garden dormouse? The white-beaked dolphin? And the natterer’s bat? In this book, you will read all about the wild mammals of Europe and you will discover where you can see them with your own eyes.
Praise:
‘Highly recommended for children who are interested in native animals and an ideal stepping stone to more specialised nature guides.’ – NBD Biblion
‘With Backyard Beasts, Bouwien Jansen and Lotte Stegeman show that one can find the most extraordinary creatures right around the corner. The precise and spot-on drawings from Marieke Nelissen make this book even more magical. In a time where everyone takes photos without looking, a book that challenges you to look is more important than ever.’ – Jury report Flag and Pennant 2020
