From The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit to Fantastic Mr Fox and The Jungle Book, a world of animals is waiting to be discovered. Children will love meeting animals in picture, activity and colouring books from Hey Duggee and Bluey. For children who want to learn more about the natural world, animal fact books like Frozen Planet II will introduce youngsters to extraordinary creatures of all kinds.
