About the Book

A large-format, full-colour hardback information book on the animals of Ireland. Animals from the air, land and sea are introduced to the reader by Dr Hibernica, an Irish professor who travels the country and knows everything there is to know about Irish wildlife. The spreads are presented in the style of her notebook and field notes, with jokes and sketches throughout. Light-hearted prose by debut author Rob Maguire and exquisite zoologically correct illustrations by Polish-Irish illustrator Aga Grandowicz. This beautiful animals book will be treasured by families, schools and libraries and will appeal to boys and girls.

About the Author :
Author Biography Rob Maguire hails from the seaside town of Bray, Co.Wicklow, and has worked as a musician, a Script Supervisor, a journalist, a blogger and a bookseller. Now an award-winning advertising copywriter, Rob spends his time coming up with madcap ideas - such as writing a book about animals, despite being allergic to them. Illustrator Biography As a child, Aga Grandowicz always wanted to be a vet or an ichthyologist, but changed her plans one year before the college and became an award-winning art director and a visual designer instead. She's now the owner of a boutique graphic design agency in Dublin. Aga finds a source of comfort in drawing furry animals, old trees and designing corporate identity.

Review :
"'Dr Finch is the greatest zoologist that Ireland never had, a fictional character created by Rob Maguire to showcase the stunning illustrations of Aga Grandowicz, whose pencil sketches bring expressive life and detail to Irish wildlife of air, land and water. An open mouthed robin sings itself off the page. An Irish hare stands erect, alert for danger. A natterjack toad curls its tongue around a bumblebee. Maguire's text is clear and concise, but Dr Finch's adventurous spirit crucially ensures the book is never dull. This is a stunning production from Little Island that would be welcomed by any adult seeking a coffee-table centrepiece, as well as any young reader who loves the natural world.' The Irish Times 'Maguire offers light-hearted and accessible prose, while Grandowicz's illustrations are both vivid and zoologically precise. Amusing and informative, this compendium is perfect for families, schools and libraries' - Inis Reading Guide, Children's Books Ireland 'A treasure of a book for keeps' - Evening Echo 'A children's book with a real wow factor... the text is hilarious and yet fully informative and the many, many pictures are irresistible... It will enchant the young person in your life. Or just buy it for yourself!' The Meath Chronicle
