These books from DK Canada such as Trees, Leaves, Flowers and Seeds; The Wonders of Nature; Manmade Wonders of the World; and Ice takes a closer look at the beauty of nature and man-made things around us.
Trees, Leaves, Flowers and Seeds is a unique guide to the extraordinary world of plants, from the smallest seeds to the tallest trees. We need plants to survive! We depend on them for food, shelter, and even to breathe, yet we don't know much about them.
This book takes a closer look at flowering plants, trees, grasses, or cacti. You will find interesting facts and cool information.
Did you know there are orchids that look like monkey faces and trees that drip poison?
We like that this picture packed galleries show plants from all angles and even in cross section, to highlight the key parts, and show the variety of plants on different themes, such as the habitat they grow in, a flower family, or the plants that supply us with our staple foods.
Did you know there are orchids that look like monkey faces and trees that drip poison?
The Wonders of Nature is similar to the An Anthology of Intriguing Animals book from DK Canada which we enjoy. It is a beautiful book that shows the stories behind the natural world with facts about animals, plants, rocks and minerals, and microorganisms.
With 100 remarkable items from the natural world, from orchids to opals and lichens to lizards, everyone will find something to be captivated by. The detailed close-up images are beautiful, and makes it interesting to read the book.
In this book we can discover facts such as how the dragon blood tree got its name, why a sundew means big trouble for insects, and what a radiolarian is. The storybook descriptions makes it interesting to read about the myths and legends surrounding both organisms and gemstones, as well as the key facts about their natural history.
Featuring breathtaking images, Manmade Wonders of the World is a complete celebration of the world humans have built over thousands of years.
