Description

This book explores different animals that share key traits but are not on the same family tree.

Quick Summary

This book reveals a mind-blowing secret about animals - creatures that look totally different and live in completely different places somehow developed the exact same superpowers. Kids will marvel at how sharks and dolphins both became sleek swimmers, how birds and bees both mastered the sky, and how anteaters and pangolins both invented the same long, sticky tongue for snacking. If your kid loves the "I Wonder Why Ponies Lived Underground and Other Questions About Horses Why Ponies Lived Underground and Other Questions About Horses" series or Animal Planet specials, they'll be obsessed with this look at how nature solves the same problems again and again. Perfect for curious kindergarten through third graders who think animals are amazing.
