A series of books for young readers charts the growth of animals and amphibians in charismatic, full-color, close-up and sequential action photographs taken over a period of hours, weeks, and/or months.
I’m interested in science because it helps us to understand the world. I enjoy finding out about new things and then working out how to write about them in a way that is both clear (and accurate) but which also conveys my own excitement and interest. I particularly like writing books that are fun, and I have been lucky to have had so many chances to do so.
I was born in Yorkshire in England, but grew up in Stranraer, a small town in south-west Scotland. I graduated from Edinburgh University and then came down to London, where I have lived ever since. I enjoy reading novels, watching films, and walking in the countryside.
A fantastic photo-essay of a young fox growing up. When they are born they are really quite un-foxlike, looking more like a standard pup, and it's fascinating to watch them grow to adult looking foxes over 12 weeks.
