Description
Male lions are often referred to as the "Kings of the Jungle" because they are thought to be the strongest, bravest, and fiercest animals in the world. This is a myth. In fact, it's the lionesses that are out hunting together and taking down large animals to feed their entire pack, including the males! In this animal book filled with fun facts, readers will be inspired by other examples of girls getting it done. They'll meet orca grandmothers who are in command of their pods, sex-changing clownfish, and backflipping female ants. Packed with groundbreaking science and stunning illustrations, Queens of the Jungle is the perfect book for kids who love learning about animals.
Critic Reviews
STARRED REVIEW “It’s all about girl power,” York writes – referring to elephant families, but really applying the notion to dozens of animals as she highlights a wide array of female-led group dynamics, reproductive practices, and parental behaviours... Revelatory reading for audiences of every gender. Kirkus
"A welcome intervention to the non-fiction catalogue. An engaging, accessible, and highly recommended purchase for libraries." School Library Journal
This is a perfect book for dipping in and out of and will engage children aged 8–10 who love learning about animals. It is packed full of fascinating facts presented in accessible bite-sized amounts of text. Armadillo Magazine
