Lovely Beasts: The Surprising Truth

Lovely Beasts: The Surprising Truth | Avery and Augustine

Fierce, creepy and prickly are words used to describe some creatures that we might consider to be beasts.  But author Kate Gardner lets us in on a little secret — there’s way more than meets the eye.  Even the most ugly, sharp-toothed, slimy beasts have their gentle, loving and playful sides, when you get to know them.  A surprising and insightful read for animal aficionados and inquiring minds alike.

Lovely Beasts: The Surprising Truth was written by Kate Gardner, illustrated by Heidi Smith and published by Balzer + Bray.
