With nine chapters covering skeletons, circulation, digestion, the senses and more, every aspect of anatomy is covered, all clearly explained by animal expert Dr Jess French. Animals perform extraordinary feats every day, from breathing underwater to flying, but how do they do these amazing things? The answers lie in the miraculous forms and features of their bodies.

From a whale's enormous heart and an owl's sensitive ears, to a tortoise's tough shell and an insect's unusual eyes, explore more than 40 animal adaptations in close detail. Vivid photography combined with annotated illustrations reveal what each species looks like inside, and colorful diagrams help support children’s understanding of animal anatomy.
Jess French is a nature lover, TV host, author, and qualified vet. She is known for her show on CBeebies, called Minibeast Adventure with Jess, which encourages children to explore the outdoors and get to know the bugs around them.
