Synopsis

This reference work aims to answer questions by young readers about the world. It is arranged into three sections: "The World of the Past", "The Living World" and "Our Earth". Over 200 questions are answered. When did life begin? How old are the dinosaurs? Why do tigers have stripes? Why is it so difficult to see animals in the wild? How do parrots talk? What makes lightning happen? Where does the wind come from? How do some plants grow without soil? These are just some of the questions answered in the book. The book gives the facts behind the natural world's wonders, whether the reader wants to find out what coral reefs are made of, which plant has the biggest flower, why tropical fish are so brightly coloured, what's at the bottom of the sea, or if anything lives in Antarctica. Jinny Johnson is the author of "Prehistoric Life Explained".
