Readers can: - Measure their hand against a gorillas - See the biggest beetle on earth fill a whole page - Compare a king cobra to a stretch limousine - Come eye-to-eye with a humpback whale These to-scale artworks bring the astonishing sizes of animals into the room with you, brought to life by the bright, characterful illustrations of Patrick Corrigan.
