On the nose for young naturalists. A prodigious portrait gallery of prominent proboscises. Digging deeply into the world’s wild animal populations, Konstantinov picks a plethora of notable noses to depict in face-forward postures, from members of the elephant and pig families on down to elephant seals, anteaters, star-nosed moles and molelike desmans, shrews and their cousins, aptly named Pinocchio frogs of New Guinea, Madagascar leaf-nosed snakes, and snout beetles.
