Cold-blooded, but astonishingly similar to animals biologically, they perhaps offer a glimpse of a common ancestor.From an egg protected and nourished by frogspawn through its development first as the vegetarian fish like tadpole to becoming the carnivorous frog “A frog's life” is a journey of discovery into the lives and habits of one of nature's most treasured and diverse creatures. Worshiped as a goddess by the Egyptians and for many cultures a symbol of good luck, but for others, a tasty treat.A staple of French cuisine, an invaluable aid to scientists, biologists, Amazonian hunters and an early warning system of ecological problems. A frog’s life explores the contribution of these amphibians with Evelyn Wood’s usual mix of fact and fun, anatomical diagrams, cartoons a quiz and colouring pages.

Et værdifuldt indlæringsværktøj. Sommerfuglenes magiske verden er en rejse ind i sommerfuglenes udviklingshistorie fra larver og pupper til deres mirakuløse forvandling til smukke bevingede sommerfugle, som tilmed har været på opdagelse i rummet. Der fortælles om de farer, der lurer på dem, og om den forbløffende hjælp, nogle af dem får. Nye begreber, ord og naturens processer forklares med farvede illustrationer. Børnene præsenteres for brugen af latin inden for etymologien (videnskaben om ordenes afstamning og oprindelige betydning), og om vigtigheden – ikke bare af latin – men også af at kunne forstå andre med samme interesser. De lærer, hvorfor vor tids videnskabsfolk er Carl von Linné taknemmelige for en genial ide. Forældre vil opleve, at layout’et og den sjove indfaldsvinkel vil stimulere deres børns nysgerrighed og igangsætte en virkelig magisk proces. Som afrunding er der for børnene en quiz, gode råde om, hvad der skal være i opdagelsestasken, sider at farvelægge og en side til notater. Der er også en fin historie om en grådig edderkop og den kloge sommerfugl, som ikke har lyst til at blive aftensmad for den. TooWoo gør det nemt og sjovt at lære.
