Description: Look Closer. These stunning photographic information books picture nature in extraordinary close-up and with an intimacy unrivaled by other wildlife books. Each title features magnificently detailed, larger-than-life photographs. Will enthrall any child who has ever wondered how a butterfly wing looks to another butterfly or how a spider sees its own web. Text and annotations give a real sense of where each plant or creature lives, how it eats, breeds, survives, and adapts to its particular habitat. Color artworks show the scale of the animal or plant; a glossary defines the meanings of unfamiliar words.
