Meet the Mini-Mammals: A Night at the Natural History Museum

Melissa Stewart, illustrated by Brian Lies

A ferret showman introduces mini-mammals from around the world, moving from small animals to increasingly tinier ones. The creatures include flying squirrels, chipmunks, and mouse lemurs. Naturalistic illustrations present the animals at their actual sizes and place them beside everyday objects for comparison. The book focuses on the varied forms and scale of some of the world’s smallest mammals.
