Atlas pro děti Zviřata (2026)

This Czech-language children’s atlas opens the door to the animal kingdom, from the basic classification of living creatures to the fascinating story of evolution. Richly illustrated and clearly organised, it answers children’s most common questions about animals and our planet in an entertaining and accessible way. It explains how scientists classify animals into groups and introduces the basic categories of the animal kingdom, showing what different animals have in common and how they differ. Children learn about the difference between invertebrates and vertebrates through examples such as butterflies, fish, snakes and earthworms. The atlas explores animals’ natural habitats, from tropical rainforests and deserts to the frozen Arctic, explaining how animals adapt to their surroundings and why protecting their habitats matters. It also describes the place of animals in different cultures, where they have been regarded as symbols, helpers or sacred beings, and follows the story of domestication from the first dogs beside prehistoric fires to the keeping of domestic animals today. The book also introduces animals from ancient times, including mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and giant birds, and explains why some species became extinct. A clear, illustrated explanation of evolution shows how the animal world changed over millions of years and how the remarkable diversity of animals known today developed.
