Translating books for children that are a feast to the eye as well as a mine of information is a very pleasant experience, but also hard work. While authors often supply their grown-up readers with the Latin terms for every plant and animal mentioned, you'll rarely find them in children's books. That makes translating them difficult, because common names are often only common in one region or part of a country, they might differ greatly in different English speaking countries.
