- In this STEAM title, young readers will meet plants and animals that are hard to see because of where they live. The book is divided into species that live high in the sky, deep underground or existed long, long ago.
- The plants and animals featured live all over the world. The snow leopard hunts high in the mountains from eastern Afghanistan to western China, the European Olm lives in some of the deepest cave systems in the world and the Ginkgo tree is a living fossil, only found in the wild in China.
- Discusses scientific concepts of evolution, adaptation, migration, pollination, extinction and predator/prey relationships.
- The detailed linocut illustrations bring the textures and colors of nature alive.
- The author has worked as an executive producer with the BBC's world-renowned Natural History Unit, based in Bristol, and with its Science Unit in London. He is author of over a hundred books on wildlife, science, travel, and conservation, including many for children. He is a corporate biologist and member of the Royal Society of Biology.
