Description: My Favorite Wild Animals is a detailed illustrated children's encyclopedia of wild animals. This series is made up of finely detailed illustrations created especially with a child's perspective in mind. Illustrations that capture intricate details impossible to show in photographs will captivate children's curiosity. This picture book is a wild animal encyclopedia for kids, packed with rich information about 26 species of wild animals native to Korea, including water deer, tigers, raccoon dogs, martens, badgers, hares, moles, and Asiatic black bears. Meet the wild animals that make their homes throughout Korea, along the Baekdu-daegan mountain range stretching from Mount Baekdu to Mount Jiri. The lovingly rendered, beautiful illustrations bring these animals to life as vividly as photographs. The book provides information about each animal's food, characteristics, classification, and habitat. The back of the book includes special sections: 'Wild Animals Live Here,' 'Let's Go See Wild Animals,' and 'Mammals of Korea.' This book features 25 species of native wild animals that call Korea home — from tigers living deep in the forests of Mount Baekdu, to wild boars that occasionally appear in the middle of cities, to squirrels commonly seen in parks. You can meet all kinds of Korean wildlife within these pages. The detailed illustrations, created through careful field research, vividly capture the animals' expressions and movements. Discover fascinating stories about wild animals — like the raccoon dog that piles up dropping after dropping to build a tall dung mound, the flying squirrel that spreads its skin flaps wide to glide between trees, and the otter that splashes and plays in the water or slides on the snow.
