About This Book

The forest buzzes with life as you spot a spider weaving its web—how many legs can you count before it disappears into the shadows? On a sandy beach, waves crash while tiny crabs scuttle just out of reach. But wait—what’s that glowing in the night, and which creatures come alive when the sun goes down?
