Animals in Art - Rhino (by Joanna Skipwith)

Some of the world's best-loved animals are also some of the most endangered. Rhinos have inspired artists for many centuries in many different countries, but as the images multiply, the real animals are dying out. This beautiful book combines natural history, stories from literature and masterpieces from all over the world.

Written for children (8 plus) but appreciated by animal and art lovers of all ages, the books are published by Silver Jungle and printed in the UK using 'pureprint' environmental print technology on paper approved by the Forest Stewardship Council.

The Green Apple is supporting 21st Century Tiger and Save the Rhino International as £4 from the sale of each book goes to these charities to help keep tigers and rhinos in the wild.

Excerpt from REVIEW in The Guardian
"A beautifully judged introduction to an intriguing, and now endangered, animal. A zesty heartfelt read for anyone of nine up, the book is rich in zoology, history and culture. Its rhinos march across cave walls and Indus Valley seals, mosaics, tapestries and canvases ... Skipwith's multi-layered book uses art as a doorway to life and thought, and she stresses that four of the five remaining species of rhino are now at risk."
