The woods are full of puzzles to be solved, clues to be found. Inspired
by this book's hints and fun-filled experiments and activities, and
using only simple equipment, young readers unlock the closely guarded
secrets of the woodsfrom the strange meetings of lazy butterflies, to
the miraculous "walking" of a twig, to the riddle of why the leaves turn
color and fall. One small square at a time, these "detectives" plunge
deeper and deeper into ancient mysterieswithout ever getting lost.
Beautifully illustrated, Woods offers a picture field guide, a
glossary-index, and a resource list.
