Can a chimp chat, or a tortoise feel teary? Do animals help each other and do they feel love?
When school teacher, Mr Biggity takes his class to the wildlife park he sets out to prove that humans are better than any other animal. Young Clara isn’t so sure . . . and the more she looks, the more she sees that animals are amazing . . . and that Mr Biggity knows almost nothing at all!
Written by Jess Merserve What Clara Saw is a beautiful, richly illustrated book about the natural world, which reminds us never to underestimate the animal kingdom. Inspired by the touching and true story of Owen the orphaned hippo and his friend Mzee, the 130-year-old giant tortoise.
