Series: Millie Marotta's Animal Adventures

A brand new colouring collection from number 1 bestselling illustrator Millie Marotta, exploring a subject very close to her heart - wildlife conservation.

This fascinating book features 90 amazing animals from around the world, with a focus on endangered and vulnerable species. Containing a rich mix of wildlife from the much-loved snow leopard to the the adorable axolotl, from the vibrant ladybird spider to Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, it's a celebration of creatures that are currently at risk but that humanity is making efforts to save.

Use your pencils or pens to bring colourful life to a wealth of wonderful animals, all rendered in Millie's beautifully intricate style, including:

Big beasts like the Javan rhino, the wild camel and the elusive mountain gorilla

Treasures of the sea: the humphead wrasse, the mini blue bee shrimp and the majestic blue whale

The insects that pollinate our world: many different bumblebee species, the monarch butterfly

'Lazarus species', thought to be extinct but now discovered in the world, such as the coelacanth and the New Caledonian crested gecko, and a few long-extinct and near-mythological animals - the woolly mammoth and the sabre toothed tiger.

Printed on high-quality paper with minimal show-through, suitable for all sorts of colouring media, this is a glorious treasury of the animals we don't want to lose.
