Summary

Take a spectacular 3-D tour through the fascinating world of predators. Young explorers learn about the “mouthy” clouded leopard, the stalking habits of the tarsier, and how the world’s longest snake grabs its victims. The book includes five incredible pop-up scenes with see-through layers and is illustrated with a rich diversity of habitats and predators, including a frozen forest in northern Asia, a dry, sandy semidesert in southwest Africa, and the warm waters off the northeast coast of Australia. Packed with engrossing facts and dazzling pop-ups, this is the ultimate guide to the world’s most remarkable predators. From the scorching desert to the frozen taiga, and from deep below the sea to high in the sky, 3-D Explorer: Predators offers a unique learning experience as as children meet fierce creatures face-to-face.
