Description
Can you tell your wasps from your hornets or your frogs from your toads? Did you know that hares live in above-ground nests while rabbits live underground in burrows? Was it a herring gull or a common gull that stole your chips at the seaside? And what IS the difference between a shrimp and a prawn? (No, they're not the same animal!) Get to know the animals that even grown-ups struggle to tell apart, from big cats with different coats like leopards and cheetahs, llamas and alpacas, lizards and salamanders and many more. Packed with fascinating facts and realistic artwork, Tell Us Apart is a beautiful gift package that outlines the key differences between the often-confused pairs in the animal kingdom to give budding young naturalists a fun facts edge.
