The world around us is full of life—and not just in nature reserves and national parks. There are plants, animals, and all kinds of living things right in your town or city. They live in your backyard, in your house, and even inside you!

No matter where you call home, nature is there. You just have to look for it. But how much do you really know about nature?

For example, we all know that. . .

  • The dinosaurs that roamed the Earth before humans are all extinct 
  • Plants can get all the energy they need from sunlight 
  • Spiders are insects. . . and creepy 
  • AND that sharks are fearsome predators. . . 

Do we. . .? Because. . . OH NO THEY AREN'T!

These commonly held misconceptions about nature are everywhere, but none of them are true! In Oh No They Aren't: Nature, widely held misconceptions about nature, from animals to plants, fungi, bacteria and even prehistoric creatures, are proven wrong. This myth-busting guide to planet Earth and all its wonderful life is an irreverent, fun and enriching way to learn about biology

Stylishly designed and humorously illustrated by Sam CaldwellOh No They Aren't: Nature is a hugely entertaining and trendy take on important STEM topics for kids. This myth-busting series makes science and nature accessible to everyone, taking an alternative and gripping approach to teaching the facts about our world. Dive in to learn what else you thought you knew that is completely WRONG!

In the Oh No They Aren't. . . series popular misconceptions in science and nature are dispelled, busting myths about the world we live in! Check out the Oh No They Didn't. . . companion series for hilarious history and popular culture myth-busting.
