Author Description

Dare to find out about strange scavenging creatures as they spring from the pages of this innovative pop-up book. Did you know: some flies live in the fur of bats? a group of vultures can clean a carcass down to the bones in less than an hour? the descendants of one rat might total several hundred in only one year? hyenas "laugh" when they are excited? some species of cockroach carry their eggs in a "purse" until they hatch? Realistic color illustrations combine with an informative, and sometimes surprising, text to bring these creatures to life as never before. (a juvenile pop-up book)
