Tom is a curious little boy who loves exploring the fascinating world of animals. In this fun and educational adventure, Tom asks his mom all sorts of questions about different creatures, and she happily shares the secrets behind each animal's special traits. From camels in the scorching desert to penguins in the freezing Antarctic, Tom learns how these animals adapt to their unique environments. He discovers how camels store fat in their humps to survive in the heat, and how penguins use their wings for swimming instead of flying. He's also amazed by the pangolin's armor-like scales and the marmot's cozy burrows, where it hibernates during winter. With every question Tom asks, his curiosity is met with exciting facts that help him understand how animals have evolved to thrive in the wild. This encyclopedia is the perfect companion for young explorers, ages 3 to 10, eager to uncover the wonders of the animal kingdom, one question at a time
