Robust insights into the often mind-bogglingly arduous journeys of animals all over the world. - Kirkus Reviews

'The awe-inspiring migratory stories of the animals offered in Epic Animal Journeys will give the reader a new-found sense of respect for nature and offer the classroom teacher a golden opportunity to delve more deeply into our natural world with learners.' - Just Imagine Book Reviews

Migration is one of the great mysteries of the natural world. With no engines or GPS devices, birds fly thousands of miles to their African feeding grounds, salmon cross oceans so that they may return to the rivers in which they were born and monarch butterflies spend their entire adult lives traveling from the grasslands of the Midwest to the forests of Mexico.

This book takes a close look at how and why different animals migrate. The science of migration and navigation is broken down into clearly understood texts, and then brought to life with beautiful packaging and vivid illustrations by Aquila illustrator, Ed J Brown.

Reviews for Epic Animal Journeys: Migration and navigation by air, land and sea

"""It's a daunting subject that Brown tackles with aplomb, beginning with a friendly introduction that hints at the scale of migration and asks two crucial questions: 'So why do it?' and 'How does it work?' The layouts are dynamic, with creative, action-packed scenes, and the information is plentiful. Brown makes clear that everything humans do impacts creatures all over the globe and also considers what we still don't know about migration. Robust insights into the often mind-bogglingly arduous journeys of animals all over the world."" - Kirkus Reviews"
