This high-interest read takes kids on a fascinating underwater dive into the world of zooplankton and phytoplankton. These living things may be small, but without these microscopic superheroes, life on Earth could not exist! Readers will meet some weird and wonderful plankton species, they will see how many marine animals begin their life cycles as plankton, they will learn how plankton are essential to all marine ecosystems and food webs, and they will discover how plankton are helping us fight climate change. Stunning photos, 3D realistic artwork, and scanning electron microscope images support the science-packed text that includes lots of laughs and some cool superhero references.
Ruth Owen has written more than 400 children's books. She writes on many subjects but her favourite topics are science and nature to research and make accessible for young readers.
