Atlas of Animal Adventures

Williams and Hawkins focus on 31 noteworthy animal behaviors in this follow-up to Atlas of Adventures (2015). In sections divided by continent, expansive spreads that evoke the look of travel postcards explore each event in depth: fruit bats in Zambia's Kasanka National Park crowd onto trees to devour ripe fruit, male marine iguanas turn green and red during breeding season in the Galapagos, and Siberian tiger mothers teach their cubs how to hunt, among others. The text, including small sidebars and caption-style statements, emphasizes scientific details and trivia for readers to file away ("The narwhal can dive almost 6,000 feet deep to feed on halibut"), but Letherland isn't afraid to have fun in her artwork, showing a puffin fishing with a rod and reel, an orangutan wielding a magnifying glass, and a bowerbird tidying up the forest floor with a rake.
