Hidden Habitats: Earth

This beautifully illustrated lift-the-flap book lets children explore small habitats in nature up close.

The smallest areas of the natural world can contain a diverse web of life.

What creatures will you discover?

In this richly illustrated lift-the-flap book, young nature enthusiasts can get up close and personal with the wonders found in eight very different terrestrial ecosystems.Eight very different habitats from around the world are described and beautifully illustrated. . . a compelling way for children to ­absorb such varied conditions across our globe.
