Designed for animal lovers and report writers alike, this series uses first-person accounts along with National Geographic photography to tell kids all about their favorite animals. Through the actual in-the-field adventures of National Geographic researchers and photographers, this series offers insight into the field of animal study and observation, presents the latest discoveries, and relates incredible true stories about close calls--and the ones that got away. It's a great way to bring kids face-to-face with animals--out of the zoo, out of the library, and into the wild.

A member of the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame, he has explored the world's waters from a young age, photographing the depths of such places as New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and the Southwest Pacific. Doubilet has photographed stingrays, sponges, and sleeping sharks in the Caribbean as well as shipwrecks in the South Pacific, the Atlantic, and at Pearl Harbor. His books include Light in the Sea, The Kingdom of Coral: Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and Fish Face. He is also the recipient of many prestigious awards, including the Lennart Nilsson Award in photography and the Sara Prize.

Jennifer Hayes is a marine biologist and photojournalist specializing in aquatic systems. Her research interests are the evolution and ecology of primitive fishes. She is an award-winning photographer, an author, and a speaker. Jennifer and National Geographic contributing photographer David Doubilet work as a team to coproduce stories for National Geographic magazine.
