Review "Disgustingly fascinating!...The world will never feel the same again after reading this book!" * Juno * "Entertaining and informative...and a valuable teaching tool." * Lancashire Evening Post * "Fold-out pages and a wonderful range of facts to learn...books like this fascinate me." * A Little but a Lot * "This well-designed book with attractive illustrations makes a yucky topic look quite lovely and the brief, simple text keeps is accessible and interesting." * Booktrust * "One of those books that taps into childrens natural curiosity and passion for interesting, fascinating, weird and wonderful facts...Beautiful illustrations throughout that are also very detailed, to scale and labelled to link the creature to the fact." * Just Imagine * "Enough grossly fascinating facts and bizarre creatures to make every reader twitch, itch and scratch." * Armadillo * Microscopic mini-fauna rarely receives even a footnote in a most childrens books. Unseen Worlds attempts to put that right with a series of dramatic dioramas of everyday habitats and tiny, but no less charming, animals they contain. Crucially, scale-bars and species labels on each page keep the focus on science, plus there is a handy section about how microscopes work and the history of microscopy to inspire a new generation of wannabe microbiologists. Unseen Worlds delivers a simple message that resonates throughout: think small, understand big. Its a jungle out there. Everywhere. * BBC Wildlife Magazine * Details ISBN1999967968 Author Damien Laverdunt Pages 36 Publisher What On Earth Publishing Ltd Year 2019 ISBN-10 1999967968 ISBN-13 9781999967963 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2019-10-24 Audience Age 9 Imprint What on Earth Books Subtitle Real-Life Microscopic Creatures Hiding All Around Us Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 579 Illustrations Colour illustrations throughout Short Title Unseen Worlds Language English Illustrator Damien Laverdunt Audience General/Trade UK Release Date 2019-10-24 AU Release Date 2019-10-24 NZ Release Date 2019-10-24 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
