Animal Scalebook
The vividly colourful scalebooks put things – and us humans! – in proportion by scaling different animals to everyday objects and distances.
by Carlos da Cruz
Description
Carlos da Cruz’s Scalebooks are inspiring children’s science books about the amazing size of animals. Some creatures make human beings feel like giants, others like Tom Thumb.
In Animal Scalebook we encounter the spiky hedgehog, snuffling along the ground, and the giraffe as it reaches for the highest branches of the tree. Along the way we also meet sea blubber, with its hundreds of stinging tentacles, dozens of metres long, and the white rhinoceros, which can run faster than the world’s fastest human!
