Om den här e-boken

Learn about a host of magnificently microscopic creatures in the latest entry from this bestselling series. Ideal for 8- to 12-year-olds with a love of science.

Take a journey through the microscopic world to encounter the weird and wonderful creatures that live there.

Each of the 36 double-page spreads showcases its own curious creature, with a large, stunning and scientifically accurate illustration bringing each one to life while highlighting the fascinating features of every animal. The artwork is complemented by a series of illuminating facts designed to engage curious microbiologists-in-the-making.

Children can meet a crustacean that lives between sand grains, a tiny mite that burrows into your eyelashes, and a mini scorpion smaller than a pea. Armed with a newfound knowledge of this extraordinary microscopic world, they will find out how the tardigrade can survive in space, why the female sheep tick rapidly balloons in size, and how the scabies mite brought with it a deadly disease.

With striking visuals, intriguing facts, and full-color, poster-sized illustrations, this is the ideal reference for all the family.
