Today I went on a bit of a rabbit trail. I started out looking for red amphibians and discovered a strange creature known as a Caecilian, which isn’t red but piqued my interest anyway based on how strange it was.

Naturally, The first place to begin when making a book like this is to choose the animals that will go into it!
