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​(Unpublished)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 with the help of two young sisters 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.
