Did you know that moose are on the loose in Anchorage, Alaska or that giant orca live along the coast in Vancouver, Canada? We naturally think about towns as places for people but many animals are happy to live close to our doorsteps, too. Wild City by Ben Hoare (editorial consultant for BBC Wildlife) introduces some of the magnificent wildlife among us every single day. Interesting facts give explanations of how different urban settings help animals thrive – you’ll find out why Cape Town’s weather attracts lots of sea life, and where reptiles like to hang out in Bangkok – while detailed illustrations will leave you with an impression of what these global cities feel like overall. The countryside is welcoming for its own finds, but Wild City shows us that you don’t have to leave town to discover the cool wildlife around
Meet the amazing animals who share our city spaces in this illustrated non-fiction title. From New York’s chipmunks to penguins in Cape Town, this fascinating nature trip around the world’s cities is full of interesting facts and creatures

Lyrical and factual text written by the award-winning Ben Hoare is perfectly complemented by Lucy Rose's stunning
illustrations. The beautiful cityscapes are full of detail with something new to discover with every look
