Squeak! A tiny nose pokes out from a pile of straw. Whiskers twitch, little claws grip a piece of cracked corn. It's a mouse!
They may be small, but mice are some of the most incredible survivors on the planet. If your child has ever spotted a mouse darting across the yard or wondered how something so tiny can outsmart so many predators, this book is for them.
"The Nature Kid's Guide to Mice" is packed with jaw-dropping facts for curious kids ages 7 to 12. How can a mouse hear sounds four times higher than humans can? Why are baby mice born pink and see-through? And how does a mother mouse tell her own babies apart from strangers in a litter of twelve?
Your child will discover that mice can jump 12 inches high, sprint 8 miles per hour, chew through concrete, and have up to 150 babies in a single year. They'll learn how mice talk in secret ultrasonic calls that no human can hear, run in zigzag patterns to escape predators, and sleep in piles to keep each other warm. From the tiny pygmy mouse that weighs less than a penny to house mice that sailed the world on explorer ships -- these little animals are full of big surprises.
A book for kids who love small creatures with giant survival skills.
Tiny paws... secret sounds... your child won't look at mice the same way again.
Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kid's Guide series. Your child's next favorite animal is waiting.
