An Immense World (Young Readers Edition) How Animals Sense Earth's Amazing Secrets

About this book

The New York Times bestseller, now available with beautiful full-colour illustrations for young readers aged ten years and up. Explore the amazing ways animals see, hear, and feel the world, with Pulitzer Prize winner Ed Yong.

Did you know that there are turtles that can track the Earth's magnetic fields? That some fish use electricity to talk to each other? Or that giant squids evolved their enormous eyeballs to look out for whales? The world is so much bigger and more "immense" than we humans experience it. We can only see so many colours, we can only feel so many sensations, and there are some senses we can't access at all.

Exploring the amazing ways animals perceive the world is an excellent way to help understand the world itself. And this young readers adaptation of the bestseller An Immense World is perfect for curious children and their families. Sure to capture young readers' interest it is filled with amazing animal facts and stunning full-colour illustrations.

Along the way are tons of amazing animal facts: Did you know that leopard pee smells like popcorn? That there is a special kind of shrimp whose punches are faster than a bullet? That it's important to take your dog for dedicated "smell walks?" Want to know the real reason zebras have stripes? (hint: it's not for camouflage)? Pick up this enthralling and enormously entertaining book to find out!
