Description
In this new book for children, co-published with The Nature Company, world famous wildlife photographer Frans Lanting has captured Olympians of the animal world in dynamic, full-color images.
This unique study explores the fantastic physical skills that animals have developed in their native environments -- skills that humans imitate in games, but that animals need to survive.
Walking Stick Press has produced superb visual books on nature subjects for The Nature Company -- here they team up Frans Lanting and Cynthia Bix for another stunning portrayal of our animal neighbors. Lanting is a frequent contributor to National Geographic and Outdoor Photographer
