Annotation: The Science of Living Things series helps children understand that they are as connected to trees, rocks, and weather as the animals that live outdoors! This important series helps define the basic concept of life and investigates the incredible world of living things. Each book explores a basic scientific concept or animal using:
-- easy-to-understand text
-- clearly labeled diagrams
-- exciting, full-color photographs

Children see themselves as part of a non-living world of houses, schools, and televisions. This intriguing book explains what a living thing is so that children can make the connection between themselves and other living things, including plants, animals, and insects. Children will discover:
-- why living things need air, food, water, and sunshine
-- what cells are
-- how living things need energy
-- how they grow, change, and reproduce
-- the different senses
