Why are some animals brightly colored? What name is given to a group of lions? How does an ostrich fight off its enemies? Spin the hand and see! Young animal lovers will go into a joyful whirl when they encounter all kinds of great creatures--from microscopic life to babies to beasts long gone extinct. The magic finger and wheel will help youngsters find out all about where the wild things live, what they eat, how they hunt, whether they have a sixth sense, and the different ways they communicate. And, there's lots more information on each page too, all with photographs, explaining what the male peacock's feathers are for, why animals live in groups, and the reason for snarling. With a simple whirl of the wheel, every question--on behavior, movement, and most important of all, what to do to save endangered species--gets answered!
