Unlock the secrets of more than 90 microscopic life forms with expert author, Jess French.

Set off with expert author Dr Jess French on a fantastic journey into the micro life of our Earth, and discover the minuscule miracles that live all around you—unseen, unheard, and unexplored.

From the tiny sea squirt that builds its house with snot to the weird and wonderful tardigrade, this wonderful collection showcases more than 90 miniature life forms. Stunning photography and gorgeous illustrations complement storybook descriptions that will captivate young readers. Here you'll uncover the good and the not so good—from tiny, delicate seeds and pollen to stealthy viruses and bacteria that live around, on and inside you. There's a whole new world waiting to be revealed that is full of surprises, and shows you that small really is beautiful!

With foil on the cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, An Anthology of Micro Life makes a beautiful gift for any child who is fascinated by the hidden life of the microscopic world. This book is ideal for young readers to explore by themselves or is perfect for bedtime stories.
