Starting with a brief overview of nature's 'microscopic to monstrous' world, Mini to Maxi moves on to look at cells and the minuscule DNA that's a part of us all.
Each double-page spread leads into the next, with featured organisms and animals growing in size as the book progresses.
Myke Mollard's stunning illustrations are the centrepiece of his books, and what make them so special. Mini to Maxi is no different.
With detailed, coloured drawings and and labelled cross-sections, you'll delve deep into the world around you.
Discover the difference between viruses and bacteria. Learn how white blood cells protect us. And the variation in size between smoke particles and dust, to pollen and red blood cells. This is demonstrated with comparative illustrations.When you foray into creatures big and small, you'll learn about the giant platypus which lived many years ago, and the smaller platypus that lives now. It's also fascinating to discover different sized bird feathers, and how they get their colours.
Have you ever heard of a tardigrade (also know as a water bear)? I hadn't until I read Mini to Maxi. It's a microbeast, barely visible to the human eye. And did you know ants can carry up to 50 times their own body weight? You'll learn about them and much more in the pages and endpapers of this beautiful book.
Myke Mollard's Mini to Maxi is highly recommended for children and adults alike.
