Spend a fun-filled day on the farm with a horse, lamb, rabbit, donkey, chicken, duck, calf, rooster, and other lovable creatures.

This is the first comprehensive study of an exceptional period in livestock experimentation and of the social and economic aspirations which led to the commissioning of these paintings. Over four hundred illustrations (325 in full colour) provide a unique record of rare or extinct animals which once grazed these lands. This book will have a wide general appeal and will particularly attract enthusiasts of folk and primitive art as well as those whose interest is in rare and vanished breeds.

"You probably know what your favorite animals look like, but do you really have any idea how big or small they really are? Could you picture the size of a tiger's face, or an elephant's tail, or an ostrich's egg? Life-Size Animals has pages and pages of life-size illustrations of different animals' tongues, teeth, claws, eggs, tails, and more. It encourages readers to compare the sizes of the different animals to themselves-seeing how long their tongues compared to a giraffe or how big their eyes are compared to a giant squid's-and it helps to put in context just how big or small these incredible creatures are. Packed with facts and incredible illustrations, this is the kind of book that curious readers can pore over for hours and return to again and again"--

Children will delight in seeking out cleverly hidden items in each vividly drawn scene.
