A fresh look at nature over 24 hours. Full-color illustrated scenes will
transport you into different wildlife habitats around the world. A day
in time is not that long, but what happens over a period of 24 hours in
nature is awesome! From dawn to dusk, through to the night-time hours,
life on Earth is very busy. Most flowers close after the sun goes down,
but did you know some flowers only bloom at night? Nocturnal animals are
active at nighttime and have developed fascinating strategies to survive
the night-shift.
- Did you know, moonflowers open in the evening and stay open until
after sunrise?
- Discover how bats can find food in total darkness and where they hang
out.
- Why are some otters so difficult to spot and find, even for the
scientists who study them?
- Which buzzing insect has 5 eyes and can fly an awesome 32 kilometers
per hour!
Natures habitats are very diverse and are changing all the time. The
deserts, frozen polar regions, humid rainforests and our oceans, all
challenge plant life, animals, birds and insects to work and react at
different times of the day. Packed full of fascinating bite-size facts,
it's a brilliant and memorable read. Luxuriously bound, with 25
beautifully illustrated full-color scenes, this book is the perfect gift
for nature-loving youngsters. A stunning book to treasure.
