Internationally renowned author and scientist Tim Flannery explores our planet’s forests and the extraordinary animals that live in them.

Can spiders fly?

Are dire wolves real?

Do chameleons practice magic?

Flannery ties together concepts of climate change, evolution, conservation, and taxonomy throughout each animal’s profile, firmly connecting the animal to its environment while sparking wonder at its role in the natural world.

Packed with vibrant illustrations and guided by real-life anecdotes from one of our greatest science communicators, Weird, Wild, Amazing! Forest teaches readers to cherish and delight in our planet’s ecosystems with Tim Flannery’s signature mix of humor and wisdom.
