The Wonders of Nature Lubawka

The opposite of a textbook, this beautifully illustrated, descriptive encyclopedia introduces children to 100 of nature's most remarkable animals, plants, minerals, and microscopic organisms. From orchids to opals and tapirs to toadstools, this book is filled with incredible facts and fascinating stories. Each entry is accompanied by rich photography and colourful illustrations, and children will love poring over the detailed close-up images. The storybook descriptions let you discover the legends surrounding both life forms and gemstones, as well as key facts about their natural history. Find out how the prowling jaguar uses spots to avoid being spotted, why a sticky sundew means big trouble for insects, and what on Earth a radiolarian is. The reference pages are a treasure trove of information. There's a visual index showing every entry alongside key statistics, such as size and location, and a glossary to reinforce new terminology. Whether it's for kids to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories, there are always new facts to learn and tales to return to, time and again. With a decorative foil cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, The Wonders of Nature is an irresistible gift for children who can't get enough of nature.
