WEIRD AND WONDERFUL SERIES
Zooming and Creeping

Barbara Taylor

These books bring you the amazing creatures and features of the natural world as you've never seen them before. Spectacular photographs and dynamic text will make you wonder that nature can be so weird!

Just look at the fastest and the slowest on land, sea and in the air, and see how speed can be a winning characteristic in the natural world.

  • Record-breaking runners and jumpers, on land and even on water!
  • Creatures that creep and crawl along, from snakes and snails to centipedes and starfish.
  • Take to the deep with the speediest swimmers, and to the skies with the incredible fliers and gliders of the animal kingdom.
  • The awesome power of our planet, whose devastating displays can outstrip even the fastest creatures.
