What if there was an animal so tough it could survive outer space, boiling water, freezing cold, and being completely dried out — all while being smaller than the period at the end of this sentence?
Meet the tardigrade — also known as the water bear or moss piglet. This eight-legged micro-animal has been living on Earth for over 500 million years, surviving every ice age, every mass extinction, and even a crash landing on the Moon!
In The Incredible Tardigrade, young readers will discover:
• How tardigrades enter the amazing “tun” state to survive almost anything
• Why scientists sent tardigrades to the International Space Station
• The special Dsup protein that shields tardigrade DNA from radiation
• How tardigrades eat using tiny needle-like teeth called stylets
• What happened when tardigrades crash-landed on the Moon
• How YOU can find tardigrades in your own backyard!
Packed with 23 chapters, fun fact boxes, a 31-word glossary, a 15-question quiz, hands-on activities, and a tardigrade record book, this is the ultimate guide to Earth’s tiniest tough guy.
Perfect for second through fourth graders, animal lovers, science fans, and any kid who believes that being small doesn’t mean you can’t be mighty.
Spark curiosity. Build reading confidence. Meet the toughest animal on Earth!
