"So many animals take journeys throughout their lifetimes for a variety of reasons. This book explores the navigations and migrations of animals by sea, land and air and explains how so many animals are capable of taking such long journeys, and why they choose to do so.
Divided into sections which each explore a different type of migration, those made on land, those in the air and those by sea, along with a final section which explores how animals navigate change the book is highly accessible. The pages are full of colourful illustrations and small paragraphs of text which explain a different aspect of the migration being explored.
Children interested in animals, and in particular knowing how and why they take such onerous journeys, will really enjoy this book.
With a page on how migration is being impacted in a changing world, it is vital that young people understand how, and why, they can make a positive difference in supporting animals around the world with the journeys that they need to take. Whether an area of land is a resting point for a bird, or home to a mammal, it is so important that humans start to make changes to the way that we live to prevent the harm that is happening to other species.
The illustrations by Ed Brown are terrific as is his writing! They are full of colour, include intricate details and show how flights can be possible with things like thermal currents". – Armadillo Children's Magazine
