Synopsis

This book takes an innovative look at the circle of life including animals, dinosaurs, stars, volcanoes, and even YOU.

Shoot back in time 4.5 billion years to see how planet Earth was formed and then leap into the future to see what happens when stars die. Everything has a beginning and an end, but what happens in between?

Meet dolphins jumping in the ocean waves, penguins travelling on the ice, and butterflies fluttering in the sky. You'll take a closer look at the life cycles of environments, too. Discover how a river forms and changes over time. Find out how a tree grows and all of the other life cycles it supports within it. See the amazing sculptures the oceans make out of cliffs. Dive beneath the surface to see how coral reefs form, and what causes them to die. Follow the life cycles of weather - from water cycles to ice ages, to give you a better grasp of the climate situation we find ourselves in now.

From the single-celled amoeba to how the Earth has formed, the life cycles in this audiobook have been carefully chosen to give you an amazing overview of the universe, and how everything is inevitably linked.

Wer die Natur beobachtet, wird feststellen, dass das Leben in Kreisläufen organisiert ist. Einige Kreisläufe sind auch den jungen Lesern bekannt (wie z.B. der Wasserkreislauf), andere eher nicht. Dieses Buch widmet sich den Kreisläufen der Natur und darüber hinaus. Denn auch das Leben und Sterben de......more

Tämä kirja tarttui mukaan käydessäni kirjastoautossa. Kannen kuvitus veti puoleensa ja pienen plarauksen jälkeen kiinnostus vain heräsi enemmän. En tullut pettymään. Kirja käsitteli kiertokulkua aivan avaruuden alkuräjähdyksestä, kasvien, eläinten, hyönteisten ja jopa bakteerien sekä ameebojen elikaa......more

My twins are obsessed with life cycles, so this is a little like the holy grail 😂 but we choose a few random pages each night and it often sparks rabbit trails on YouTube to learn more about said creatures.......more

A gorgeously illustrated book This is one of the best books to show how the earth and living things complete their life cycles. The illustrations are clear and beautiful, it could be used with older children in KS 2 as a guide for their science topics.......more
