This book takes you on an exploration of the beautiful natural world, home to millions of incredible creatures. Do you want to know more about the family life of an elephant?

Besides, you can take a tour of the African Grasslands, which is the home to many different animals such as lions, giraffes and warthogs.

This book also takes you to the skies where birds live around the world. Most birds build nests to protect their eggs and chicks from predators. You'll be surprised by the amazing lives of insects and other creepy crawlies. In nature, you can discover the beauty and power of trees. Some of them put on a beautiful show in the spring with branches covered with beautiful, fragrant flowers called blossoms. Flowers provide pollen for pollinators such as bees and, by producing fruit, initiate the cross-pollination necessary for tree reproduction.

Nowadays, animals are endangered due to human actions such as illegal hunting or deforestation. We should protect them by stopping hunting and cutting down trees. Trees provide homes for many different types of animals and thus we should help protect our precious trees.
