Get ready for the journey of a lifetime…up in the sky! Bird’s Eye
View: The Natural World takes you on an amazing, fact-filled aerial
journey around the world with stunning views of its landscapes, and
the animals and plants that live in them. Three of the twelve soaring
panoramas fold out on each side to create fabulous double-wide vistas.
Discover the incredible natural world as you float over: The Florida
Everglades Tropical South America Coral islands in the Pacific Ocean
Uluru rock in Australia China’s magical Guilin Hills The Central
Asian steppe The Himalayas The African Serengeti A Welsh river
Northern Scandinavia Sea cliffs of the Irish coast French countryside
Each gorgeous spread introduces a new region from above, with text
describing its key geological features and inhabitants. Along the
bottom of the page, illustrations identify a selection of the
location’s animals and plants, and a globe pinpoints where it is on
the map. Included in the scenes is evidence of the damage that humans
can do, like oil pollution in the Arctic ocean and deforestation in
the Amazon. Join the great white egret as you fly over the Everglades
and the whooper swans as you soar over the Arctic. Spot the gray reef
sharks swimming the lagoon of a coral atoll, the red kangaroos
bounding across the Australian desert, the herds of wildebeest
migrating across the Serengeti, and the snow leopard prowling the
foothills of the Himalayas. Look at the world differently, with a
bird's eye view.
