TITLE

SPECIMENS, The Mysteriously Wonderous World of Museums
​(Unpublished)
​
How did all these specimens arrive in our museums?
How were they transformed to last and be admired?
...and why are they important to us?
​
​
This hybrid non-fiction picturebook explores the mysterious hidden world of specimens in museums.

While we tend to often squeal in front of these subjects, this picture book brings a child friendly approach to understanding the processes used to retrieve, preserve and expose these zoological specimens that make our museums so magical.
