This beautifully illustrated lift-the-flap book lets children explore small habitats in nature up close.
The smallest areas of the natural world can contain a diverse web of life. Peel back leaves on the forest floor, peer over a clifftop and into a desert canyon, travel to an oasis in the Sahara Desert, climb a towering Brazil nut tree in a rain forest, and visit four more land-based habitats. What creatures will you discover?
In this richly illustrated lift-the-flap book, young nature enthusiasts can get up close and personal with the wonders found in eight very different terrestrial ecosystems.
Camilla de la Bedoyere has a background in zoology and has written more than two hundred books for children and adults, many of which explore the natural world. She has also worked as a journalist, editing a children’s page in a national newspaper, and as a specialist reading teacher.
