17 of the cutest animal species you will ever see. Most are tiny, all are adorable! Also includes the pom-pom crab,the quokka (they bite but oh, that smile!) the pangolin, a pygmy hippopotamus and many more. 

Includes size, diet, habitat and threats for each, with some funny cartoon illustrations I keep going back to look at these cute animals - which draws me to learn more about them. A well placed appendix describing the science of cute rounds out the end of book information which includes a glossary. 7th grade science needs this series!
