The eBook for the first in the Wildlife of the World series of children's books is very similar to the latest printed edition, highlighting the incredible wildlife of China, but the photos are higher quality viewed on a digital screen and there are some extra interactive features.
Everyone is familiar with endangered giant pandas, but animals like bright orange snub-nosed monkeys and scary golden takin are almost unknown outside the country... not to mention all the weird and wonderful birds, reptiles and insects!
This book combines dozens of colour photos with various interesting facts and links to interactive media, all taken during Hugh's extensive travels in this vast country.
Unfortunately not all eReaders are capable of handling the high quality images and interactive features of the Wildlife of the World series.
