Description
THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON SOLD IN 10 LANGUAGES - FROM AWARD-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR JENNI DESMOND AND UK TRAVEL WRITER OF THE YEAR MIKE UNWIN Brrrr! It's the middle of the Antarctic. All you can see for miles is ice. But look closer. A line of figures is trooping over the frozen terrain. From a distance they look like people. But soon you can see that they're penguins, each follows the one in front. Follow the amazing migrations of 20 creatures in this spectacular book: trek across South Africa with gigantic elephants, scour Christmas Island and find a million red crabs, and observe a cloud of fruit bats as they take to the midnight sky over Kasanka Forest. Travel around the globe with some of the world's most incredible animals and discover their unique migration stories. Written by Mike Unwin, a UK Travel Writer of the Year, and illustrated by Jenni Desmond, winner of the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book, prepare yourself for a journey like no other.
Journey across the globe and follow the migration stories of 20 incredible animals, from the Monarch butterfly that flutters from North to South America each winter, to the Bar Headed Geese that soar over the Himalayas. Pairing incredible illustrations with stunning storytelling, Migration is a must-have for animal lovers everywhere.

Reviews
An absolutely stunning book which follows twenty animals around the globe on their incredible migrations. The vivid descriptions of these epic journeys are beautifully illustrated by Jenni Desmond. A lovely gift in hardback. * The Guardian *
The duo behind [Migration] ... know just how to make children's precious imaginations soar. * The Observer *
This non-fiction picture book is a beautifully illustrated, fact-filled goldmine. * Children's Book and Media Review *
Each double-page spread summons an outstanding example of migration. We've seen many of them before, such as the epic flights of arctic terns and wandering albatross, but others are less well known. * Redeemed Reader *
Desmond's art, created with watercolor, acrylic, ink, pencil, and pencil crayon, incorporates a paragraph of additional information about each species. It is her images that make this oversize album stand out. * Kirkus *
