Silver Birch Award shortlist, 2005 Fifth House is GOING WILD with a new children_s nonfiction adventure series. The first of eight books features world-famous zoologist Brian Keating and his travels to experience unique ecosystems and observe animals from pole-to-pole and around the equator. Amazing Animal Adventures Around the World is a nature book like no other, as children learn about wildlife, the environment, and conservation through first-person accounts from one of Canada_s foremost animal adventurers. In this book, lavishly illustrated by his own photographs, Keating describes ten of his most memorable wildlife-watching trips in his trademark energetic and upbeat style.
Join Keating as he describes: Miraculously escaping from a pride of charging lions in Africa on the scariest day of his life Strolling down a penguin superhighway in Antarctica Discovering (the hard way) the memorable defence mechanism of Norway_s petrels - projectile vomiting Marvelling at Borneo_s amazing proboscis monkeys with their huge light-bulb noses dangling between their eyes Looking into the eyes of Godzilla when getting up close-and-personal with marine iguanas in the Galapagos
