"Creature" is a fresh and starkly modern example of animal photography. Each animal is displayed on a bright white background so that nothing detracts from that moment in time frozen by the camera. You see an Owl in flight but so close you feel you could touch it. The Lion in a full toothed roar. There is no text, no explanation. The picture, or should I say the animal, speaks for itself.

This large-format photography book has wonderful images of many animals, from insects to grizzly bears.
The photographs include some close-ups and all open your eyes to the variety of textures and the detail of each animal. You can stare at some photographs for a long time, just taking in the detail.
From the quills of a porcupine to the toes of an elephant, this will have you taking a new look at each animal included.

fantastic! love the photography - ruby loves it too there were a few ohhhs and aws throughout the book from her and she hugged at least 10 of the animals. Got it from the library but I NEED TO OWN THIS BOOK!
First learned of this book when the author was interviewed on 'Ellen'. Right then I knew I had to have it. The pictures are unbelievable. I would love to see more.
I took this to my school visits this year...even though it is huge and I walk to my schools....it was that good. All ages can enjoy these remarkable photographs.
Beatutiful and revealing close-up photographs of a wide range of animals. I found myself staring for a while at some of the models.
The pictures in this book are amazing. All animals are on a white background so you can really see the detail of each species.
Baboons are crazy looking! They are more like werewolves than wolves.
These photographs are great.
These photographs are great.
This book, and its sister "Bird" are AMAZING! Everything is shot on a white background and there are no words or charts to clutter up the beautiful pictures.
I read about this book in a magazine and was estatic when it finally arrived for me at the Library!
Amazing, the photographs against the stark white background really pop off the page. I found myself petting the pages thinking that I would be able to feel the textures becaus it looks so real. (silly me!) There was so much detail. The patterns that nature has created are exhibited perfectly here!

Beautiful and piercing. Will become a case study for designers, photographers, and artists on how to employ whitespace as a narrative, visual tool.
Bought it for Cosi for Christmas and I am sure the pages will get torn from wear. I'm ok with that. This book deserves to be explored.

If you love animals and photography, you must have this coffeetable book. The photographer shoots extreme close-ups on a white background. Amazing!
Amazing, candid portrait-style photographs of all sorts of animals. Large coffee-table sized gorgeous book.
Zuckerman portrayed each animal as an individual being, and beautifully captured the essence of animal emotions.
This is one of my favorite 'coffee table' books EVER. The pictures in this are amazing. Love love it.
Really cool photographs of animals.
Amazing photography of animals!!
Un-freakin'-believable.
Beautiful.
