Sniff! A round, heavy animal built like a bulldozer pushes through thick jungle vines, its bendy trunk twisting toward a branch only it can reach. It's a tapir, and its closest living relatives are the horse and the rhinoceros.

If your child has never heard of a tapir, they are about to meet the strangest animal on the planet. Tapirs look nothing like horses or rhinos, yet science says they are family. Baby tapirs are born covered in white spots and stripes, like a watermelon with legs. Some believe tapirs eat bad dreams. A tapir can run 30 miles per hour, dive into a river, and walk along the bottom to escape a jaguar. One species lives high in freezing Andes cloud forests in a thick woolly coat while another swims through the Amazon. Every page delivers something your child will want to run and share.
