Did you know honey bees only live for up to seven weeks and lobsters have a life span of over 100 years? You might be surprised by some of the animal ages in Our Time on Earth. As a concept, a book about how long it takes animals to die might sound a bit macabre, but nothing could be further from the truth. In a celebratio­n of wildlife, Lily Murray reveals the interestin­g lives of each animal, be it short or long, highlighti­ng some fascinatin­g behaviours and their importance to the wider ecosystem. There’s plenty to discover here, such as the eternal life span of the immortal jellyfish or the 500-year-old sharks swimming around Greenland, thousands of metres below the surface. Along with wonderfull­y written content, it’s worth purchasing Our Time on Earth for the illustrati­ons alone. Each vibrant page brings the stories of the animals to life and will undoubtedl­y entice your little one to turn the page and see what’s next.
