So many animals are thought of as scary or ferocious! The silverback gorilla is a fierce . . . papa! He is gentle and caring with his offspring. Creepy spiders spin amazing webs, tough Rhinos are vulnerable, prickly porcupines are gentle and many many more. 

 Heidi Smith's charcoal pencil and photoshop illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to the truth revealing text. What a great way to learn about the "lesser known" side of these great beasts.
