Forty fantastic poems and paintings from an internationally acclaimed duo, celebrating our beautiful planet. Discover a pangolin at dusk, fly on the bat's back, visit a lion and hear about his plight; try the moth alphabet tongue-twister, meet fighting Tazzies on a night out in Tasmania or dream about the five-legged dog and three-legged cat! Then find out about real, huge Titanosaurus and amazing Coelacanths. You might spot a kingfisher, that ' small glint of wonder', and see how ' wild reclaims the world' in the urban night-time. These beautiful poems are perfectly melded with Petr Hor? cek's gorgeous, glowing paintings and the combination is extraordinary - passionate, playful, thoughtful and exciting. Like the goldfinch in the final poem, this wonderful book will ' set the heart free and flying' .
