Beskrivning

Being tiny is tough! You can't reach the highest shelf where the cookie jar sits, and the big kids always steal your lunchtime snacks. Don't get me started on going to theme parks, you can never get on the rides and you're always told to have an adult present for everything you do. But what if I told you that being small didn't suck at all? But was in fact really, really cool. Focus your eyes on the world of micro animals and learn what it's like to be so small. Discover how these tiny creatures stay safe, or hunt for their lunch. Zoom in on their superpowers, like having the ability to shoot microscopic darts, spring-loaded jumps which take them to incredible heights or the amazing ways in which tiny hunters defend themselves from much bigger creatures. Maybe it's not so tough to be tiny after all!
