Draw. Draw. Draw. This has been the story of Paul Daviz’s life from an early age. He drew on his schoolbooks, drew when he got a job in a pajama factory, and built up an extraordinary portfolio of imagery which won him work storyboarding TV commercials, animated productions, packaging and print campaigns for top London agencies. Originally from Blackburn, England, today Paul is a vastly experienced illustrator confident working in a whole range of cartoony styles, and still draws on a daily basis.

What reviewers said
"Adults are just as likely as children to discover new animals and details throughout this well-researched text, and something new will be remembered with each reading. A call to action at the end encourages readers to protect the environment and the many creatures who reside on the Earth, and a glossary and index serve to enhance readers’ overall understanding and recall. This is an excellent addition to nonfiction collections for elementary school-aged children."
"Every page is so attractive and colorful. The factoids about each animal are really interesting, and the design of the page layouts makes it easy to read. There are little snippets of information next to illustrations of each animal, and you get to learn so much so quickly!"
