Wild Wonders: Celebrating the planet’s most misunderstood, unloved and overlooked animals

in his new book, Ben Rothery sets out to inform and inspire children to look after all the animals on this precious planet – not just the big, bold, beautiful ones, but the scary, ugly and utterly alien ones as well. From misunderstood animals like snakes and sharks, to detested creatures like maggots and hyenas, and from animals with unlucky associations like magpies, to those abandoned by us like orangutans, meet the animals that need and deserve our love.
