Creepy, Kooky Science
Animals that feed on blood, plants that feed on flesh,
societies that met tragic ends eons ago; science can be strange and surprising.
Dynamic visuals and lively storytelling will keep readers entertained as they
discover the darker, weirder side of science. Through colorful images and
fascinating facts presented in engaging text and informative sidebars, students
will learn about ancient cultures and customs; examine unusual animals, plants,
and insects from around the globe (and their own backyards); and ponder the
bleak possibility of annihilation-by-asteroid.
