Description

Some of the most colorful and amazing creatures in the world make the continent of South America their home. The jaguar (the biggest cat on the continent) , the anaconda (the biggest snake in the world) , the sloth (often covered with green algae) and the toucan (a bird with an enormous beak and bright feathers) are just some of these. Find out about South America's jungles, Spanish past and lost cities. They're all in this book! User-friendly maps let you know exactly where everything is. You'll find each colorful flag displayed for each country. And look out for the page of removable stickers in the center and the interesting activity, useful glossary and index and the end of the book.
